The Telescope Calibration of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Brian Ramsey, Jeffery Kolodziejczak, Wayne Baumgartner +27
Fifty years after the very first sounding rocket measurement of cosmic X-ray polarization, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission has effectively opened a new window…
X-ray Polarization of the Black Hole X-ray Binary 4U 1630-47 Challenges Standard Thin Accretion Disk Scenario
Ajay Ratheesh, Michal Dovčiak, Henric Krawczynski +112
Large energy-dependent X-ray polarization degree is detected by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer ({IXPE}) in the high-soft emission state of the black hole X-ray binary 4U 16…
The First Flight of the Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Spectrometer (MaGIXS)
Sabrina L. Savage, Amy R. Winebarger, Ken Kobayashi +34
The Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Spectrometer (MaGIXS) sounding rocket experiment launched on July 30, 2021 from the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. MaGIXS is a unique…
Polarized Blazar X-rays imply particle acceleration in shocks
Ioannis Liodakis, Alan P. Marscher, Iván Agudo +125
Most of the light from blazars, active galactic nuclei with jets of magnetized plasma that point nearly along the line of sight, is produced by high-energy particles, up to $\sim 1…
Calibration of the MaGIXS experiment II: Flight Instrument Calibration
P. S. Athiray, Amy R. Winebarger, Patrick Champey +21
The Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Spectrometer (MaGIXS) is a sounding rocket experiment that observes the soft X-ray spectrum of the Sun from 6.0 - 24 Angstrom (0.5 - 2.0 keV),…
Characterization of the Inner Knot of the Crab: The Site of the Gamma-ray Flares?
A. Rudy, D. Horns, A. DeLuca +18
One of the most intriguing results from the gamma-ray instruments in orbit has been the detection of powerful flares from the Crab Nebula. These flares challenge our understanding…
Characteristics of Kepler Planetary Candidates Based on the First Data Set: The Majority are Found to be Neptune-Size and Smaller
William J. Borucki
In the spring of 2009, the Kepler Mission commenced high-precision photometry on nearly 156,000 stars to determine the frequency and characteristics of small exoplanets, conduct a…
