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 X-ray polarization angle rotation in active galaxy Mrk 421
Laura Di Gesu, Herman L. Marshall, Steven R. Ehlert +140
The magnetic field conditions in astrophysical relativistic jets can be probed by multiwavelength polarimetry, which has been recently extended to X-rays. For example, one can trac…
X-ray Polarization of BL Lacertae in Outburst
Abel L. Peirson, Michela Negro, Ioannis Liodakis +128
We report the first confidence detection of X-ray polarization in BL Lacertae. During a recent X-ray/-ray outburst, a 287 ksec observation (2022 November 27-30) was tak…
X-ray Polarization Observations of BL Lacertae
Riccardo Middei, Ioannis Liodakis, Matteo Perri +143
Blazars are a class of jet-dominated active galactic nuclei with a typical double-humped spectral energy distribution. It is of common consensus the Synchrotron emission to be resp…
