A variable magnetic disc wind in the black hole X-ray binary GRS 1915+105?
Ajay Ratheesh, Francesco Tombesi, Kiego Fukumura +3
GRS 1915+105 being one of the brightest transient black hole binary (BHB) in the X-rays, offers a unique test-bed for the study of the connection between accretion and ejection mec…
Re-detection and a Possible Time Variation of Soft X-ray Polarisation from the Crab
Hua Feng, Hong Li, Xiangyun Long +24
The Crab nebula is so far the only celestial object with a statistically significant detection in soft x-ray polarimetry, a window that has not been explored in astronomy since the…
In-flight calibration system of Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Fabio Muleri, Carlo Lefevre +22
The NASA/ASI Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, which will be launched in 2021, will be the first instrument to perform spatially resolved X-ray polarimetry on several astronomica…
In-orbit Operation and Performance of the CubeSat Soft X-ray Polarimeter PolarLight
Hong Li, Xiangyun Long, Hua Feng +21
PolarLight is a compact soft X-ray polarimeter onboard a CubeSat, which was launched into a low-Earth orbit on October 29, 2018. In March 2019, PolarLight started full operation, a…
An X-Ray Burst from a Magnetar Enlightening the Mechanism of Fast Radio Bursts
M. Tavani, C. Casentini, A. Ursi +60
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are short (millisecond) radio pulses originating from enigmatic sources at extragalactic distances so far lacking a detection in other energy bands. Magnet…
