The Polarized Cosmic Hand: IXPE Observations of PSR B1509-58/MSH 15-52

Roger W. Romani, Josephine Wong, Niccolo Di Lalla +99

We describe IXPE polarization observations of the Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN) MSH15-52, the `Cosmic Hand'. We find X-ray polarization across the PWN, with B field vectors generally al…

Magnetic structures and turbulence in SN 1006 revealed with imaging X-ray polarimetry

Ping Zhou, Dmitry Prokhorov, Riccardo Ferrazzoli +99

Young supernova remnants (SNRs) strongly modify surrounding magnetic fields, which in turn play an essential role in accelerating cosmic rays (CRs). X-ray polarization measurements…

IXPE and XMM-Newton observations of the Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 1806-20

Roberto Turolla, Roberto Taverna, Gian Luca Israel +96

Recent observations with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) of two anomalous X-ray pulsars provided evidence that X-ray emission from magnetar sources is strongly polari…

IXPE and multi-wavelength observations of blazar PG 1553+113 reveal an orphan optical polarization swing

Riccardo Middei, Matteo Perri, Simonetta Puccetti +119

The lower energy peak of the spectral energy distribution of blazars has commonly been ascribed to synchrotron radiation from relativistic particles in the jets. Despite the consen…

Discovery of strongly variable X-ray polarization in the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary transient XTE J1701462

Massimo Cocchi, Andrea Gnarini, Sergio Fabiani +105

After about 16 years since its first outburst, the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1701462 turned on again in September 2022, allowing for the first study of i…

X-ray polarimetry and spectroscopy of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary GX 9+9: an in-depth study with IXPE and NuSTAR

F. Ursini, R. Farinelli, A. Gnarini +101

We report on a comprehensive analysis of simultaneous X-ray polarimetric and spectral data of the bright atoll source GX 9+9 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and…
