A new NASA Pioneer: the Globe Orbiting Soft X-ray Polarimeter (GOSoX)

Herman L Marshall, Sarah N T Heine, Alan Garner +16

The Globe Orbiting Soft X-ray Polarimeter (GOSoX) is a spectropolarimeter for the soft X-ray band. GOSoX is based on the Rocket Experiment Demonstration of a Soft X-ray Polarimeter…

Rapid quasi-periodic reconfiguration of the accretion column in pulsar 1A 0535+262

Lingda Kong, Xiaohang Dai, Andrea Santangelo +12

Accretion onto strongly magnetized neutron stars is commonly interpreted using quasi-steady models, in which the accretion-column structure adjusts smoothly to the mass inflow rate…

A NICER view of the corona through time-dependent Comptonization of the quasi-periodic oscillations in nine black-hole X-ray binaries

Yuexin Zhang, Mariano Méndez, James F. Steiner +12

We present a systematic study of the evolution of the corona geometry in nine black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) using archival data from NICER. We identify 171 observations exhibi…

Decoding Cygnus X-2: The Critical Role of Reflection in IXPE Data

Honghui Liu, Jiachen Jiang, Adam Ingram +10

We present a spectro-polarimetric re-analysis of the first IXPE observation of Cygnus X-2 which we determine to be mainly in the normal branch, from quasi-simultaneous observations…

First detection of X-ray polarization from the long-period X-ray pulsar 4U 1954+319

Alexander Salganik, Lingda Kong, Sofia V. Forsblom +6

We report the first detection of X-ray polarization with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer from the X-ray pulsar (XRP) 4U 1954319. The source belongs to an extremely rare c…

Probing the emission geometry of the X-ray pulsar 2S 1417624 during a weak outburst with NICER, IXPE, and NuSTAR

Menglei Zhou, Pengju Wang, Honghui Liu +12

We report results from a multi-mission observational campaign of the transient X-ray pulsar 2S~1417624 during its 2025 outburst, using data from NICER, IXPE, and NuSTAR. Phase-a…

Probing the polarized emission from the accretion-powered pulsar 4U 1907+09 with IXPE

Menglei Zhou, Lorenzo Ducci, Honghui Liu +12

We present observations of the accretion-powered X-ray pulsar (XRP) 4U 1907+09, conducted with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) that delivers the first high-quality po…
