Helical magnetic field structure in 3C 273. A Faraday rotation analysis using multi-frequency polarimetric VLBA data
Teresa Toscano, Sol N. Molina, José L. Gómez +12
We present a study on rotation measure (RM) of the quasar 3C 273. This analysis aims to discern the magnetic field structure and its temporal evolution. The quasar 3C 273 is one of…
A Two-Week Monitoring Campaign on Mrk 421
W. Peter Maksym, Ioannis Liodakis, M. Lynne Saade +153
X-ray polarization is a unique new probe of the particle acceleration in astrophysical jets made possible through the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. Here we report on the firs…
X-ray and multiwavelength polarization of Mrk 501 from 2022 to 2023
Chien-Ting J. Chen, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +143
We present multiwavelength polarization measurements of the luminous blazar Mrk~501 over a 14-month period. The 2--8 keV X-ray polarization was measured with the Imaging X-ray Pola…
IXPE observation of PKS 2155-304 reveals the most highly polarized blazar
Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +133
We report the X-ray polarization properties of the high-synchrotron-peaked (HSP) blazar PKS 2155304 based on observations with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). We…
