X-ray reverberation modelling of the continuum, optical/UV time-lags in quasars
D. A. Langis, I. E. Papadakis, E. Kammoun +2
Context: Extensive, multi-wavelength monitoring campaigns of nearby and higher redshift active galactic nuclei (AGN) have shown that the UV/optical variations are well correlated w…
IXPE Observation of the Low-Synchrotron Peaked Blazar S4 0954+65 During An Optical-X-ray Flare
Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Francesco Fenu +134
The X-ray polarization observations made possible with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) offer new ways of probing high-energy emission processes in astrophysical jets…
Investigating the consistency of the shape and flux of X-ray reflection spectra in the hard state with an accretion disk reaching close to the black hole
Sudeb Ranjan Datta, Michal Dovčiak, Michal Bursa +3
The observed spectra from black hole (BH) X-ray binaries (XRBs) typically consist of two primary components: multitemperature blackbody (BB) originating from the accretion disk in…
Evidence for a shock-compressed magnetic field in the northwestern rim of Vela Jr. from X-ray polarimetry
Dmitry A. Prokhorov, Yi-Jung Yang, Riccardo Ferrazzoli +97
Synchrotron X-ray emission has been detected from nearly a dozen young supernova remnants (SNRs). X-rays of synchrotron origin exhibit linear polarization in a regular, non-randoml…
A Two-Week Monitoring Campaign on Mrk 421
W. Peter Maksym, Ioannis Liodakis, M. Lynne Saade +153
X-ray polarization is a unique new probe of the particle acceleration in astrophysical jets made possible through the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. Here we report on the firs…
X-ray reverberation as an explanation for UV/optical variability in nearby Seyferts
M. Papoutsis, I. E. Papadakis, C. Panagiotou +2
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are known to be variable across all wavelengths. Significant observational efforts have been invested in the last decade in studying their ultraviolet…
Analysis of Crab X-ray Polarization using Deeper IXPE Observations
Josephine Wong, Tsunefumi Mizuno, Niccoló Bucciantini +98
We present Crab X-ray polarization measurements using IXPE data with a total exposure of 300ks, three times more than the initial 2022 discovery paper. Polarization is detected in…
IXPE observation of PKS 2155-304 reveals the most highly polarized blazar
Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +133
We report the X-ray polarization properties of the high-synchrotron-peaked (HSP) blazar PKS 2155304 based on observations with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). We…
Recovery of the X-ray polarisation of Swift J1727.81613 after the soft-to-hard spectral transition
J. Podgorný, J. Svoboda, M. Dovčiak +34
We report on the detection of X-ray polarisation in the black-hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613 during its dim hard spectral state by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (I…
