CUSP: a two cubesats constellation for Space Weather and solar flares X-ray polarimetry
Sergio Fabiani, Ilaria Baffo, Sergio Bonomo +25
The CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) project aims to develop a constellation of two CubeSats orbiting the Earth to measure the linear polarisation of solar flares in the hard X-ray…
Polarization constraints on the X-ray corona in Seyfert Galaxies: MCG-05-23-16
A. Marinucci, F. Muleri, M. Dovčiak +97
We report on the first observation of a radio-quiet Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) using polarized X-rays: the Seyfert 1.9 galaxy MCG-05-23-16. This source was pointed with the Imag…
Limits on X-ray Polarization at the Core of Centaurus A as Observed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Steven R. Ehlert, Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Andrea Marinucci +95
We present measurements of the polarization of X-rays in the band from the nucleus of the radio galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A), using a 100ks observation…
The Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE): Pre-Launch
Martin C. Weisskopf, Paolo Soffitta, Luca Baldini +155
Scheduled to launch in late 2021, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a NASA Small Explorer Mission in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The mission w…
The imaging properties of the Gas Pixel Detector as a focal plane polarimeter
S. Fabiani, E. Costa, E. Del Monte +19
X-rays are particularly suited to probe the physics of extreme objects. However, despite the enormous improvements of X-ray Astronomy in imaging, spectroscopy and timing, polarimet…
