Discovery of strongly variable X-ray polarization in the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary transient XTE J1701462
Massimo Cocchi, Andrea Gnarini, Sergio Fabiani +105
After about 16 years since its first outburst, the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1701462 turned on again in September 2022, allowing for the first study of i…
X-ray polarimetry and spectroscopy of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary GX 9+9: an in-depth study with IXPE and NuSTAR
F. Ursini, R. Farinelli, A. Gnarini +101
We report on a comprehensive analysis of simultaneous X-ray polarimetric and spectral data of the bright atoll source GX 9+9 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and…
Complex variations of X-ray polarization in the X-ray pulsar LS V +44 17/RX J0440.9+4431
Victor Doroshenko, Juri Poutanen, Jeremy Heyl +109
We report on Imaging X-ray polarimetry explorer (IXPE) observations of the Be-transient X-ray pulsar LS V +44 17/RX J0440.9+4431 made at two luminosity levels during the giant outb…
A polarimetrically oriented X-ray stare at the accreting pulsar EXO 2030+375
Christian Malacaria, Jeremy Heyl, Victor Doroshenko +104
Accreting X-ray pulsars (XRPs) are presumably ideal targets for polarization measurements, as their high magnetic field strength is expected to polarize the emission up to a polari…
Discovery of X-ray polarization angle rotation in active galaxy Mrk 421
Laura Di Gesu, Herman L. Marshall, Steven R. Ehlert +140
The magnetic field conditions in astrophysical relativistic jets can be probed by multiwavelength polarimetry, which has been recently extended to X-rays. For example, one can trac…
The geometry of the hot corona in MCG-05-23-16 constrained by X-ray polarimetry
D. Tagliacozzo, A. Marinucci, F. Ursini +105
We report on the second observation of the radio-quiet active galactic nucleus (AGN) MCG-05-23-16 performed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The observation star…
