X-ray Polarization of the High-Synchrotron-Peak BL Lacertae Object 1ES 1959+650 during Intermediate and High X-ray Flux States

Luigi Pacciani, Dawoon E. Kim, Riccardo Middei +97

We report the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) polarimetric and simultaneous multiwavelength observations of the high-energy-peaked BL Lacertae (HBL) object 1ES 1959+650,…

GRB 990704: the most X-ray rich BeppoSAX gamma-ray burst

M. Feroci, L. A. Antonelli, P. Soffitta +8

We present the X- and -ray detection of GRB 990704 and the discovery and study of its X-ray afterglow, 1SAX J1219.5-0350. Two pointed BeppoSAX observations with the narrow field…

The discovery of polarization in the afterglow of GRB 990510 with the ESO Very Large Telescope

R. A. M. J. Wijers, P. M. Vreeswijk, T. J. Galama +12

Following a BeppoSAX alert (Piro 1999a) and the discovery of the OT at SAAO (Vreeswijk et al. 1999a), we observed GRB 990510 with the FORS instrument on ESO's VLT Unit 1 (`Antu').…
