Relativistic Collisionless Shocks in Inhomogeneous Magnetized Plasmas
Camilia Demidem, Joonas Nättilä, Alexandra Veledina
Relativistic collisionless shocks are associated with efficient particle acceleration when propagating into weakly magnetized homogeneous media; as the magnetization increases, par…
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…
Polarized x-rays constrain the disk-jet geometry in the black hole x-ray binary Cygnus X-1
Henric Krawczynski, Fabio Muleri, Michal Dovčiak +111
A black hole x-ray binary (XRB) system forms when gas is stripped from a normal star and accretes onto a black hole, which heats the gas sufficiently to emit x-rays. We report a po…
Optical polarization signatures of black hole X-ray binaries
Vadim Kravtsov, Andrei V. Berdyugin, Ilia A. Kosenkov +7
Polarimetry provides an avenue for probing the geometry and physical mechanisms producing optical radiation in many astrophysical objects, including stellar binary systems. We pres…
