An X-ray Extremely wide-field Spectroscopic Surveyor (XESS, or "chess")

W. P. Maksym, M. Ulmer, S. Friedrich +20

We propose an X-ray observatory, the X-ray Extremely wide-field Spectroscopic Surveyor (XESS, pronounced "Chess") to bring high energy resolution X-ray spectroscopy into the era of…

Magnetic-field Order in the Southwestern Rim of RCW 86 Constrained Using X-Ray Polarimetry

Stefano Silvestri, Dmitry Prokhorov, Jacco Vink +97

RCW 86 is a supernova remnant whose origin has recently been linked to an off-center explosion within a cavity created by its progenitor star. In the southwestern region, the forwa…

Super-Eddington Accretion Geometry: a Remarkable Stability of the Hidden Ultraluminous X-Ray Source Cygnus X-3

Romana Mikušincová, Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri +112

We report on the average and orbital phase-resolved polarization of Cyg X-3 in the hard state during the 2023 Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observational campaign. We f…
