Accretion geometry of the black-hole binary Cygnus X-1 from X-ray polarimetry
M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Friis +13
Black-hole binary (BHB) systems comprise a stellar-mass black hole and a closely orbiting companion star. Matter is transferred from the companion to the black hole, forming an acc…
PoGO+ polarimetric constraint on the synchrotron jet emission of Cygnus X-1
Maxime Chauvin, Hans-Gustav Florén, Miranda Jackson +8
We report a polarimetric constraint on the hard X-ray synchrotron jet emission from the Cygnus X-1 black-hole binary system. The observational data were obtained using the PoGO+ ha…
Science prospects for SPHiNX - a small satellite GRB polarimetry mission
M. Pearce, L. Eliasson, N. Kumar Iyer +9
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are exceptionally bright electromagnetic events occurring daily on the sky. The prompt emission is dominated by X-/-rays. Since their discovery over 50 y…
The PoGO+ view on Crab off-pulse hard X-ray polarisation
M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Friis +11
The linear polarisation fraction and angle of the hard X-ray emission from the Crab provide unique insight into high energy radiation mechanisms, complementing the usual imaging, t…
