Accreting Neutron Stars in Low-Mass X-ray Binaries

M. C. Baglio, S. E. Motta, A. P. Nitindala +1

Neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (NS LMXBs) are systems in which a neutron star accretes matter from a Roche-lobe-filling companion via an accretion disc, releasing gravitation…

Peering through the dip: IXPE unveils the extended scattering environment of GX 13+1

Alessandro Di Marco, Fabio La Monaca, Luigi Stella +17

Neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries feature complex accretion geometries, often including an accretion disk corona or disk winds. Here, a study of the highly inclined dipping sour…

Optical polarimetry of the accreting black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613 over the state transition and radio ejections

Anagha P. Nitindala, Alexandra Veledina, Vadim Kravtsov +7

We present the first optical () polarimetric observations of Swift J1727.81613 during its 2023--2024 outburst. Observations were performed during the X-ray hard-to-soft sta…

Variability of X-ray polarization of Cyg X-1

Vadim Kravtsov, Anastasiia Bocharova, Alexandra Veledina +31

We present the results of a three-year X-ray, optical, and radio polarimetric monitoring campaign of the prototypical black hole X-ray binary Cyg X-1, conducted from 2022 to 2024.…

X-ray polarization from accretion disk winds

Anagha P. Nitindala, Alexandra Veledina, Juri Poutanen

X-ray polarimetry is a fine tool to probe the accretion geometry and physical processes operating in the proximity of compact objects, black holes and neutron stars. Recent discove…

X-ray and multiwavelength polarization of Mrk 501 from 2022 to 2023

Chien-Ting J. Chen, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +143

We present multiwavelength polarization measurements of the luminous blazar Mrk~501 over a 14-month period. The 2--8 keV X-ray polarization was measured with the Imaging X-ray Pola…

Discovery of a strong rotation of the X-ray polarization angle in the galactic burster GX 13+1

Anna Bobrikova, Sofia V. Forsblom, Alessandro Di Marco +106

Weakly magnetized neutron stars in X-ray binaries show complex phenomenology with several spectral components that can be associated with the accretion disk, boundary and/or spread…

Complex variations of X-ray polarization in the X-ray pulsar LS V +44 17/RX J0440.9+4431

Victor Doroshenko, Juri Poutanen, Jeremy Heyl +109

We report on Imaging X-ray polarimetry explorer (IXPE) observations of the Be-transient X-ray pulsar LS V +44 17/RX J0440.9+4431 made at two luminosity levels during the giant outb…
