X-ray and optical polarization aligned with the radio jet ejecta in GX 339-4
G. Mastroserio, B. De Marco, M. C. Baglio +27
We present the first X-ray polarization measurements of GX 339-4. IXPE observed this source twice during its 2023-2024 outburst, once in the soft-intermediate state and again durin…
X-ray and multiwavelength polarization of Mrk 501 from 2022 to 2023
Chien-Ting J. Chen, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +143
We present multiwavelength polarization measurements of the luminous blazar Mrk~501 over a 14-month period. The 2--8 keV X-ray polarization was measured with the Imaging X-ray Pola…
Inferring the iron K emissivity profiles of accretion discs irradiated by extended coronae
Wenda Zhang, Michal Dovčiak, Michal Bursa +2
One of the most promising methods to measure the spin of an accreting black hole is fitting the broad iron K line in the X-ray spectrum. The line profile also depends on the geo…
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…
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…
Probing the polarized emission from SMC X-1: the brightest X-ray pulsar observed by IXPE
Sofia V. Forsblom, Sergey S. Tsygankov, Juri Poutanen +101
Recent observations of X-ray pulsars (XRPs) performed by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) have made it possible to investigate the intricate details of these objects i…
