Pulsar-wind-nebula-powered Galactic center X-ray filament G0.13-0.11: Proof of the synchrotron nature by IXPE
Eugene Churazov, Ildar Khabibullin, Thibault Barnouin +103
We report the discovery of X-ray polarization from the X-ray-bright filament. G0.13-0.11 in the Galactic center (GC) region. This filament features a bright, hard X-ray source that…
X-ray Polarization of the Eastern Lobe of SS 433
Philip Kaaret, Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Stefano Silvestri +103
How astrophysical systems translate the kinetic energy of bulk motion into the acceleration of particles to very high energies is a pressing question. SS 433 is a microquasar that…
Tracking the X-ray Polarization of the Black Hole Transient Swift J1727.8-1613 during a State Transition
Adam Ingram, Niek Bollemeijer, Alexandra Veledina +120
We report on an observational campaign on the bright black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613 centered around five observations by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)…
Discovery of a variable energy-dependent X-ray polarization in the accreting neutron star GX 5-1
Sergio Fabiani, Fiamma Capitanio, Rosario Iaria +116
We report on the coordinated observations of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary (NS-LMXB) \gx in X-rays (IXPE, NICER, Nustar and INTEGRAL), optical (REM and LCO), near-infrared…
Discovery of X-ray Polarization from the Black Hole Transient Swift J1727.8-1613
Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri, Michal Dovciak +113
We report the first detection of the X-ray polarization of the bright transient Swift J1727.8-1613 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. The observation was performed at the…
First X-ray polarization measurement confirms the low black-hole spin in LMC X-3
Jiří Svoboda, Michal Dovčiak, James F. Steiner +109
X-ray polarization is a powerful tool to investigate the geometry of accreting material around black holes, allowing independent measurements of the black hole spin and orientation…
Accretion Disc Evolution in GRO J1655-40 and LMC X-3 with Relativistic and Non-Relativistic Disc Models
Anastasiya Yilmaz, Jiri Svoboda, Victoria Grinberg +3
Black hole X-ray binaries are ideal environments to study the accretion phenomena in strong gravitational potentials. These systems undergo dramatic accretion state transitions and…
Unveiling the small-scale jets in the rapidly growing supermassive black hole IZw1
Xiaolong Yang, Su Yao, Luigi C. Gallo +10
Accretion of black holes at near-Eddington or super-Eddington rates is the most powerful episode that drives black hole growth, and it may work in several types of objects. However…
The First X-ray Polarization Observation of the Black Hole X-ray Binary 4U 1630-47 in the Steep Power Law State
Nicole Rodriguez Cavero, Lorenzo Marra, Henric Krawczynski +107
The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observed the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47 in the steep power law (or very high) state. The observations reveal a linear polariza…
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…
Star-formation rate and stellar mass calibrations based on infrared photometry and their dependence on stellar population age and extinction
Konstantinos Kouroumpatzakis, Andreas Zezas, Elias Kyritsis +2
The stellar mass () and the star-formation rate (SFR) are among the most important features that characterize galaxies. Measuring these fundamental properties accurately i…

Jakub Podgorny, Lorenzo Marra, Fabio Muleri +108
We report on an X-ray polarimetric observation of the high-mass X-ray binary LMC X-1 in the high/soft state, obtained by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) in October 20…
Cygnus X-3 revealed as a Galactic ultraluminous X-ray source by IXPE
Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri, Juri Poutanen +127
The accretion of matter by compact objects can be inhibited by radiation pressure if the luminosity exceeds the critical value, known as the Eddington limit. Discovery of ultralumi…
