X-ray polarization of the Compton-thin Seyfert galaxy NGC 5506 with IXPE
Daniele Tagliacozzo, Alessandro Leonardo Lai, Andrea Gnarini +14
We report on the observation of the Compton-thin Seyfert galaxy NGC~5506 performed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The observation, with a net observing time of…
AGN X-ray coronae at high luminosity: A broadband study of RBS 229 and PG 1407+265
Alessandro Leonardo Lai, Stefano Bianchi, Andrea Marinucci +8
Context. The X-ray emission of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is commonly interpreted as arising from Comptonisation in a hot corona above the accretion disc. A prominent soft X-ray…
EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics
Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137
The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…
The WISSHFUL program: the highest redshift UFO discovered in a non-lensed QSO
G. Lanzuisi, L. Borrelli, E. Piconcelli +28
We present the first results from the WISSHFUL program, an XMM-Newton heritage program targeting luminous QSOs at Cosmic Noon. We report on recent simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTA…
Ultra-thick warm absorbers: Enlarging the parameter space of AGN ionised outflows
R. Middei, E. Piconcelli, E. Nardini +9
The analysis of X-ray absorption features in active galactic nuclei (AGN) provides a wealth of information about the physical properties of the matter surrounding supermassive blac…
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…
