High Energy Polarization and the Crab: Historical Remarks
Martin C. Weisskopf
In this paper we first provide a brief history of the handful of X-ray polarization measurements that have been accomplished to date. We then outline new technological developments…
The Behavior of Matter under Extreme Conditions
F. Paerels, M. Mendez, M. Agueros +29
The cores of neutron stars harbor the highest matter densities known to occur in nature, up to several times the densities in atomic nuclei. Similarly, magnetic field strengths can…
X-ray Cluster Cosmology
A. Vikhlinin, S. Murray, R. Gilli +18
Sensitive, wide-area X-ray surveys which would be possible with the WFXT will detect huge samples of virialized objects spanning the mass range from sub-groups to the most massive…
The growth and evolution of super massive black holes
S. Murray, R. Gilli, P. Tozzi +19
We discuss the central role played by X-ray studies to reconstruct the past history of formation and evolution of supermassive Black Holes (BHs), and the role they played in shapin…
Galaxy clusters and the cosmic cycle of baryons across cosmic times
R. Giacconi, S. Borgani, P. Rosati +18
We discuss the central role played by the X-ray study of hot baryons within galaxy clusters to reconstruct the assembly of cosmic structures and to trace the past history of star f…
Spin and Relativistic Phenomena Around Black Holes
L. Brenneman, J. M. Miller, K. Nandra +13
Since the seminal work of Penrose (1969) and Blandford & Znajek (1977), it has been realized that black hole spin may be an important energy source in astrophysics. The radio-loud/…
