Analytical ray-tracing of synchrotron emission around accreting black holes
Alexandra Veledina, Matthieu Pélissier
Polarimetric images of accreting black holes encode important information about laws of strong gravity and relativistic motions of matter. Recent advancements in instrumentation en…
X-ray polarization from accretion disk winds
Anagha P. Nitindala, Alexandra Veledina, Juri Poutanen
X-ray polarimetry is a fine tool to probe the accretion geometry and physical processes operating in the proximity of compact objects, black holes and neutron stars. Recent discove…
Ultrasoft state of microquasar Cygnus X-3: X-ray polarimetry reveals the geometry of astronomical puzzle
Alexandra Veledina, Juri Poutanen, Anastasiia Bocharova +17
Cygnus X-3 is an enigmatic X-ray binary, that is both an exceptional accreting system and a cornerstone for the population synthesis studies. Prominent X-ray and radio properties f…
Optical and near-infrared polarization of the black hole X-ray binary A0620-00 in quiescence
Vadim Kravtsov, Alexandra Veledina, Andrei V. Berdyugin +12
We present simultaneous high-precision optical polarimetric and near-infrared (NIR) to ultraviolet (UV) photometric observations of low-mass black hole X-ray binary A0620-00 in the…
Fast X-ray/IR observations of the black hole transient Swift~J1753.5--0127: from an IR lead to a very long jet lag
Alberto Ulgiati, Federico Maria Vincentelli, Piergiorgio Casella +16
We report on two epochs of simultaneous near-infrared (IR) and X-ray observations with a sub-second time resolution of the low mass X-ray binary black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-…
An IXPE-Led X-ray Spectro-Polarimetric Campaign on the Soft State of Cygnus X-1: X-ray Polarimetric Evidence for Strong Gravitational Lensing
James F. Steiner, Edward Nathan, Kun Hu +134
We present the first X-ray spectropolarimetric results for Cygnus X-1 in its soft state from a campaign of five IXPE observations conducted during 2023 May-June. Companion multiwav…
Studying geometry of the ultraluminous X-ray pulsar Swift J0243.6+6124 using X-ray and optical polarimetry
Juri Poutanen, Sergey S. Tsygankov, Victor Doroshenko +108
Discovery of pulsations from a number of ULXs proved that accretion onto neutron stars can produce luminosities exceeding the Eddington limit by several orders of magnitude. The co…
Recovery of the X-ray polarisation of Swift J1727.81613 after the soft-to-hard spectral transition
J. Podgorný, J. Svoboda, M. Dovčiak +34
We report on the detection of X-ray polarisation in the black-hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613 during its dim hard spectral state by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (I…
Dramatic Drop in the X-Ray Polarization of Swift J1727.81613 in the Soft Spectral State
Jiří Svoboda, Michal Dovčiak, James F. Steiner +34
Black-hole X-ray binaries exhibit different spectral and timing properties in different accretion states. The X-ray outburst of a recently discovered and extraordinarily bright sou…
X-Ray Polarimetry of the Dipping Accreting Neutron Star 4U 1624-49
M. Lynne Saade, Philip Kaaret, Andrea Gnarini +98
We present the first X-ray polarimetric study of the dipping accreting neutron star 4U 162449 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). We report a detection of polari…
Discovery of a strong rotation of the X-ray polarization angle in the galactic burster GX 13+1
Anna Bobrikova, Sofia V. Forsblom, Alessandro Di Marco +106
Weakly magnetized neutron stars in X-ray binaries show complex phenomenology with several spectral components that can be associated with the accretion disk, boundary and/or spread…
