X-ray polarization of the Compton-thin Seyfert galaxy NGC 5506 with IXPE
Daniele Tagliacozzo, Alessandro Leonardo Lai, Andrea Gnarini +14
We report on the observation of the Compton-thin Seyfert galaxy NGC~5506 performed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The observation, with a net observing time of…
EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics
Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137
The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…
A XRISM view of the iron line complex in NGC 1068: Rethinking the prototypical Compton-thick AGN
S. Bianchi, B. Vander Meulen, E. Bertola +32
We analyze a XRISM/Resolve observation of NGC1068, focusing on the Fe K and Fe K fluorescent lines and on the Fe XXV and Fe XXVI emission complexes. Line centroid energies, i…
XPE and VLT /FORS2 polarimetry challenge the Seyfert-1.9 classification of MCG-05-23-16
Frédéric Marin, Daniele Tagliacozzo, Francesco Ursini +21
We report the third observation of the Seyfert-1.9 active galactic nucleus (AGN) MCG-05-23-16 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (\textit{IXPE}), together with optical spe…
