XIPE: the X-ray Imaging Polarimetry Explorer
Paolo Soffitta, Xavier Barcons, Ronaldo Bellazzini +96
X-ray polarimetry, sometimes alone, and sometimes coupled to spectral and temporal variability measurements and to imaging, allows a wealth of physical phenomena in astrophysics to…
Waveform Digitizing for LaBr/NaI Phoswich Detector
She Rui, Ji Jian-Feng, Feng Hua +2
The detection efficiency of phoswich detector starts to decrease when Compton scattering becomes significant. Events with energy deposit in both scintillators, if not rejected, are…
A long-term X-ray monitoring of the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5408 X-1 with Swift reveals the presence of dips but no orbital period
Fabien Grisé, Philip Kaaret, Stéphane Corbel +2
NGC 5408 X-1 is a well-studied ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) that has been seen to emit in X-rays persistently above the Eddington limit of a stellar-mass black hole for years.…
A State Transition of the Luminous X-ray Binary in the Low-Metallicity Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy I Zw 18
Philip Kaaret, Hua Feng
We present a measurement of the X-ray spectrum of the luminous X-ray binary in I Zw 18, the blue compact dwarf galaxy with the lowest known metallicity. We find the highest flux ye…
To differentiate neutron star models by X-ray polarimetry
Jiguang Lu, Renxin Xu, Hua Feng
The nature of pulsar is still unknown because of non-perturbative effects of the fundamental strong interaction, and different models of pulsar inner structures are then suggested,…
