X-ray Polarization Observations of BL Lacertae
Riccardo Middei, Ioannis Liodakis, Matteo Perri +143
Blazars are a class of jet-dominated active galactic nuclei with a typical double-humped spectral energy distribution. It is of common consensus the Synchrotron emission to be resp…
The X-ray polarimetry view of the accreting pulsar Cen X-3
Sergey S. Tsygankov, Victor Doroshenko, Juri Poutanen +95
Cen X-3 is the first X-ray pulsar discovered 50 years ago. Radiation from such objects is expected to be highly polarized due to birefringence of plasma and vacuum associated with…
XPOL-III: a New-Generation VLSI CMOS ASIC for High-Throughput X-ray Polarimetry
M. Minuti, L. Baldini, R. Bellazzini +11
While the successful launch and operation in space of the Gas Pixel Detectors onboard the PolarLight cubesat and the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer demonstrate the viability an…
The All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory eXplorer (AMEGO-X) Mission Concept
Regina Caputo, Marco Ajello, Carolyn Kierans +52
The All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory eXplorer (AMEGO-X) is designed to identify and characterize gamma rays from extreme explosions and accelerators. The main science th…
Polarization constraints on the X-ray corona in Seyfert Galaxies: MCG-05-23-16
A. Marinucci, F. Muleri, M. Dovčiak +97
We report on the first observation of a radio-quiet Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) using polarized X-rays: the Seyfert 1.9 galaxy MCG-05-23-16. This source was pointed with the Imag…
Limits on X-ray Polarization at the Core of Centaurus A as Observed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Steven R. Ehlert, Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Andrea Marinucci +95
We present measurements of the polarization of X-rays in the band from the nucleus of the radio galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A), using a 100ks observation…
