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…

XL-Calibur Polarimetry of Cyg X-1 Further Constrains the Origin of its Hard-state X-ray Emission

Hisamitsu Awaki, Matthew G. Baring, Richard Bose +36

The balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimetry mission XL-Calibur observed the Black Hole X-ray Binary (BHXRB) Cygnus X-1 (Cyg X-1) during its nearly six-day Long Duration Balloon (LDB)…

XL-Calibur measurements of polarised hard X-ray emission from the Crab

Hisamitsu Awaki, Matthew G. Baring, Richard Bose +46

We report measurements of the linear polarisation degree (PD) and angle (PA) for hard X-ray emission from the Crab pulsar and wind nebula. Measurements were made with the XL-Calibu…

Performance of the X-Calibur Hard X-Ray Polarimetry Mission during its 2018/19 Long-Duration Balloon Flight

Quincy Abarr, Banafsheh Beheshtipour, Matthias Beilicke +28

X-Calibur is a balloon-borne telescope that measures the polarization of high-energy X-rays in the 15--50keV energy range. The instrument makes use of the fact that X-rays scatter…
