X-Ray Polarization from the Gamma-Ray Binary LS I +61 303
Philip Kaaret, Sudip Chakraborty, Daniel Golonka +5
The gamma-ray emitting binary stellar system LS I +61 303 was observed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) on two successive orbits over orbital phases of 0.74 to 1.…
Where within the 3C 84 jet are -rays produced?
Georgios F. Paraschos, Ioannis Liodakis, Svetlana Jorstad +49
The location of -ray creation and emission within extra-galactic jets is a matter of active debate. One particularly well-suited source to pinpoint the location is the nearby,…
The First X-Ray Polarimetry of an Eclipsing Low-Mass X-Ray Binary: Serendipitous IXPE Observation of AX J1745.6-2901
Romana Mikušincová, Lorenzo Marra, Hemanth Manikantan +38
We present the first X-ray polarimetric measurement of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary system AX J1745.6-2901 conducted by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) sate…
Detection of Compton scattering in the jet of 3C 84
Ioannis Liodakis, Sudip Chakraborty, Frédéric Marin +77
3C 84 is the brightest cluster galaxy in the Perseus Cluster. It is among the closest radio-loud active galaxies and among the very few that can be detected from low frequency radi…
First X-ray polarimetric view of a Low-Luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus: the case of NGC 2110
Sudip Chakraborty, Ajay Ratheesh, Daniele Tagliacozzo +20
Low-Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei (LLAGN) provides a unique view of Comptonization and non-thermal emission from accreting black holes in the low-accretion rate regime. However…
AstroSat timing and spectral analysis of the accretion-powered millisecond X-ray pulsar IGR J17591--2342
Akshay Singh, Andrea Sanna, Sudip Bhattacharyya +5
IGR J17591--2342, a transient accretion-powered millisecond X-ray pulsar, was discovered during its 2018 outburst. Here, we present a timing and spectral analysis of the source usi…
