Peering through the dip: IXPE unveils the extended scattering environment of GX 13+1
Alessandro Di Marco, Fabio La Monaca, Luigi Stella +17
Neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries feature complex accretion geometries, often including an accretion disk corona or disk winds. Here, a study of the highly inclined dipping sour…
Kes 75 with IXPE: Detection of Nebular X-ray Polarization and Change in Pulsar Lightcurve
Josephine Wong, Jack T. Dinsmore, Roger W. Romani +16
We present the first X-ray polarization measurements of the PSR/PWN complex within SNR Kes 75. Two IXPE observations were conducted in October/November 2024 a…
X-Ray Polarization Study of Pulsar Wind Nebulae with eXTP: Simulation Results and Scientific Prospects
Kuan Liu, Fei Xie, Ming-Yu Ge +2
X-ray polarization observations of pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) provide crucial insights into magnetic field structures and particle acceleration mechanisms. While the Imaging X-ray…
Wide-Field X-ray Polarimetry for High Energy Astronomical Transients: First results of the pathfinder CXPD Cubesat Mission
Hong-Bang Liu, Zu-Ke Feng, Huan-Bo Feng +27
The Low Energy Polarization Detector (LPD) is a key component of the next-generation large-scale Gamma-Ray Burst polarimeter, POLAR-2. It is designed for polarization observations…
Two-Component gamma-ray Emission Spectrum and X-Ray Polarization of the Radio Galaxy Pictor A
Jia-Xuan Li, Xin-Ke Hu, Ji-Shun Lian +6
Pictor A is a -ray emitting radio galaxy and has a bright hotspot called WHS, located 4 arcmin away from the nucleus. In this work, we present an analysis of its 16-year…
X-ray Polarization of the High-Synchrotron-Peaked BL Lac H 1426+428
Xin-Ke Hu, Jia-Xuan Li, Yu-Wei Yu +4
We report the X-ray polarization properties of the high-synchrotron-peaked BL Lac H 1426+428, based on two-epoch observational data from the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXP…
