The X-ray Polarization View of Mrk~421 in an Average Flux State as Observed by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Laura Di Gesu, Immacolata Donnarumma, Fabrizio Tavecchio +100
Particle acceleration mechanisms in supermassive black hole jets, such as shock acceleration, magnetic reconnection, and turbulence, are expected to have observable signatures in t…
The X-ray polarimetry view of the accreting pulsar Cen X-3
Sergey S. Tsygankov, Victor Doroshenko, Juri Poutanen +95
Cen X-3 is the first X-ray pulsar discovered 50 years ago. Radiation from such objects is expected to be highly polarized due to birefringence of plasma and vacuum associated with…
The long-stable hard state of XTE J1752-223 and the disk truncation dilemma
Riley M. T. Connors, Javier A. Garcia, John Tomsick +10
The degree to which the thin accretion disks of black hole X-ray binaries are truncated during hard spectral states remains a contentious open question in black hole astrophysics.…
Simultaneous space and phase resolved X-ray polarimetry of the Crab Pulsar and Nebula
Niccolò Bucciantini, Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Matteo Bachetti +93
The Crab pulsar and its nebula are among the most studied astrophysical systems, and constitute one of the most promising environments where high energy processes and particle acce…
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…
Polarized x-rays constrain the disk-jet geometry in the black hole x-ray binary Cygnus X-1
Henric Krawczynski, Fabio Muleri, Michal Dovčiak +111
A black hole x-ray binary (XRB) system forms when gas is stripped from a normal star and accretes onto a black hole, which heats the gas sufficiently to emit x-rays. We report a po…
