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…

X-ray polarization in SN 1006 southwest shows spatial variations and differences with the radio band

Ping Zhou, Patrick Slane, Dmitry Prokhorov +15

We report the detection of a spatial variation of X-ray polarization in the southwestern shell of SN 1006 (SN 1006 SW) using IXPE. The shell has an average X-ray polarization degre…

Evidence for a shock-compressed magnetic field in the northwestern rim of Vela Jr. from X-ray polarimetry

Dmitry A. Prokhorov, Yi-Jung Yang, Riccardo Ferrazzoli +97

Synchrotron X-ray emission has been detected from nearly a dozen young supernova remnants (SNRs). X-rays of synchrotron origin exhibit linear polarization in a regular, non-randoml…

Discovery of a shock-compressed magnetic field in the north-western rim of the young supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 with X-ray polarimetry

Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Dmitry Prokhorov, Niccolò Bucciantini +99

Supernova remnants (SNRs) provide insights into cosmic-ray acceleration and magnetic field dynamics at shock fronts. Recent X-ray polarimetric measurements by the Imaging X-ray Pol…

Magnetic structures and turbulence in SN 1006 revealed with imaging X-ray polarimetry

Ping Zhou, Dmitry Prokhorov, Riccardo Ferrazzoli +99

Young supernova remnants (SNRs) strongly modify surrounding magnetic fields, which in turn play an essential role in accelerating cosmic rays (CRs). X-ray polarization measurements…

Counting gamma rays in the directions of galaxy clusters

D. A. Prokhorov, E. M. Churazov

Emission of AGNs and neutral pion decay - are the two most natural mechanisms, that could make a galaxy cluster be a source of gamma-rays in the GeV regime. We revisited this probl…
