PoGO+ polarimetric constraint on the synchrotron jet emission of Cygnus X-1

Maxime Chauvin, Hans-Gustav Florén, Miranda Jackson +8

We report a polarimetric constraint on the hard X-ray synchrotron jet emission from the Cygnus X-1 black-hole binary system. The observational data were obtained using the PoGO+ ha…

The PoGO+ view on Crab off-pulse hard X-ray polarisation

M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Friis +11

The linear polarisation fraction and angle of the hard X-ray emission from the Crab provide unique insight into high energy radiation mechanisms, complementing the usual imaging, t…

Shedding new light on the Crab with polarized X-rays

M. Chauvin, H. -G. Florén, M. Friis +13

Strong magnetic fields, synchrotron emission, and Compton scattering are omnipresent in compact celestial X-ray sources. Emissions in the X-ray energy band are consequently expecte…

Optimising a balloon-borne polarimeter in the hard X-ray domain: from the PoGOLite Pathfinder to PoGO+

Maxime Chauvin, Miranda Jackson, Takafumi Kawano +6

PoGOLite is a balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimeter dedicated to the study of point sources. Compton scattered events are registered using an array of plastic scintillator units to…

Preflight performance studies of the PoGOLite hard X-ray polarimeter

M. Chauvin, M. Jackson, T. Kawano +6

Polarimetric studies of astrophysical sources can make important contributions to resolve the geometry of the emitting region and determine the photon emission mechanism. PoGOLite…
