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…

Fermi-LAT Gamma-ray Emission Discovered from the Composite Supernova Remnant B0453-685 in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Jordan Eagle

A second extragalactic pulsar wind nebula (PWN) is discovered in the MeV-GeV band using the Fermi-LAT. Faint, point-like gamma-ray emission is detected at the location of the compo…

IXPE Polarizations of the Lighthouse Pulsar, Trail, and Filament

Jack T. Dinsmore, Roger W. Romani, S. Zhang +9

The Lighthouse pulsar (PSR J11016101) sports a bright X-ray trail and filament. The synchrotron emission from both structures is expected to be polarized, with electric vector p…

Magnetic-field Order in the Southwestern Rim of RCW 86 Constrained Using X-Ray Polarimetry

Stefano Silvestri, Dmitry Prokhorov, Jacco Vink +97

RCW 86 is a supernova remnant whose origin has recently been linked to an off-center explosion within a cavity created by its progenitor star. In the southwestern region, the forwa…

Super-Eddington Accretion Geometry: a Remarkable Stability of the Hidden Ultraluminous X-Ray Source Cygnus X-3

Romana Mikušincová, Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri +112

We report on the average and orbital phase-resolved polarization of Cyg X-3 in the hard state during the 2023 Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observational campaign. We f…
