Refined Constraints on the Hard X-ray Polarization of the Crab Pulsar and Nebula Derived from an Extended XL-Calibur Dataset

Matthew G. Baring, Jacob Casey, Sohee Chun +26

We present updated hard X-ray polarization measurements of the Crab pulsar and nebula obtained with the balloon-borne polarimeter XL-Calibur in the ~19-64 keV energy range. During…

Unveiling blazar synchrotron emission: a multiwavelength polarimetric study of HSP and LSP populations

Sara Capecchiacci, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +96

Polarimetric properties of blazars allow us to put constraints on the acceleration mechanisms that fuel their powerful jets. By studying the multiwavelength polarimetric behaviour…
