Polarization constraints on the X-ray corona in Seyfert Galaxies: MCG-05-23-16
A. Marinucci, F. Muleri, M. Dovčiak +97
We report on the first observation of a radio-quiet Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) using polarized X-rays: the Seyfert 1.9 galaxy MCG-05-23-16. This source was pointed with the Imag…
Detection of an Unidentified Soft X-ray Emission Feature in NGC 5548
Liyi Gu, Junjie Mao, Jelle S. Kaastra +17
NGC~5548 is an X-ray bright Seyfert 1 active galaxy. It exhibits a variety of spectroscopic features in the soft X-ray band, including in particular the absorption by the AGN outfl…
Investigating the X-ray polarization of lamp-post coronae in BHXRB
Wenda Zhang, Michal Dovčiak, Michal Bursa +3
High-sensitivity X-ray polarimetric observations of black hole X-ray binaries, which will soon become available with the launches of space-borne X-ray observatories with sensitive…
reXcor: A Model of the X-ray Spectrum of Active Galactic Nuclei that Combines Ionized Reflection and a Warm Corona
Xin Xiang, D. R. Ballantyne, S. Bianchi +6
The X-ray spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) often exhibit an excess of emission above the primary power-law at energies <~ keV. Two models for the origin of this `soft e…
Polarization properties of weakly magnetized Neutron Stars in Low Mass X-ray Binaries
Andrea Gnarini, Francesco Ursini, Giorgio Matt +5
X-ray polarimetry missions like IXPE will be able to measure for the first time the polarization properties of accreting, weakly magnetized neutron stars in Low Mass X-ray Binaries…
