Kes 75 with IXPE: Detection of Nebular X-ray Polarization and Change in Pulsar Lightcurve

Josephine Wong, Jack T. Dinsmore, Roger W. Romani +16

We present the first X-ray polarization measurements of the PSR/PWN complex within SNR Kes 75. Two IXPE observations were conducted in October/November 2024 a…

IXPE Polarizations of the Lighthouse Pulsar, Trail, and Filament

Jack T. Dinsmore, Roger W. Romani, S. Zhang +9

The Lighthouse pulsar (PSR J11016101) sports a bright X-ray trail and filament. The synchrotron emission from both structures is expected to be polarized, with electric vector p…

Exploring the spin dependence on mass inclination and distance for the newly discovered black hole X-ray binary Swift J151857.0-572147

Yujia Song, James F. Steiner, Tong Zhao +7

The black hole X-ray binary (BHXRB) Swift J151857.0-572147 was discovered during its first outburst in March 2024. We review the archive of NICER observations from this outburst, f…

X-ray Polarization Detection of the Pulsar Wind Nebula in G21.5-0.9 with IXPE

Niccolò Di Lalla, Nicola Omodei, Niccolò Bucciantini +98

We present the X-ray polarization observation of G21.5-0.9, a young Galactic supernova remnant (SNR), conducted with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) in October 2023,…

Analysis of Crab X-ray Polarization using Deeper IXPE Observations

Josephine Wong, Tsunefumi Mizuno, Niccoló Bucciantini +98

We present Crab X-ray polarization measurements using IXPE data with a total exposure of 300ks, three times more than the initial 2022 discovery paper. Polarization is detected in…

First detection of polarization in X-rays for PSR B0540-69 and its nebula

Fei Xie, Josephine Wong, Fabio La Monaca +100

We report on X-ray polarization measurements of the extra-galactic Crab-like PSR B0540-69 and its Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), using a ~850 ks Imag…

The Polarized Cosmic Hand: IXPE Observations of PSR B1509-58/MSH 15-52

Roger W. Romani, Josephine Wong, Niccolo Di Lalla +99

We describe IXPE polarization observations of the Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN) MSH15-52, the `Cosmic Hand'. We find X-ray polarization across the PWN, with B field vectors generally al…
