Highly Significant Detection of X-Ray Polarization from the Brightest Accreting Neutron Star Sco X-1
Fabio La Monaca, Alessandro Di Marco, Juri Poutanen +116
The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) measured with high significance the X-ray polarization of the brightest Z-source Scorpius X-1, resulting in the nominal 2-8 keV energy…
Tracking the X-ray Polarization of the Black Hole Transient Swift J1727.8-1613 during a State Transition
Adam Ingram, Niek Bollemeijer, Alexandra Veledina +120
We report on an observational campaign on the bright black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613 centered around five observations by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)…
IXPE observation confirms a high spin in the accreting black hole 4U 1957+115
L. Marra, M. Brigitte, N. Rodriguez Cavero +113
We present the results of the first X-ray polarimetric observation of the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1957+115, performed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer in May 2023. The…
Discovery of a variable energy-dependent X-ray polarization in the accreting neutron star GX 5-1
Sergio Fabiani, Fiamma Capitanio, Rosario Iaria +116
We report on the coordinated observations of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary (NS-LMXB) \gx in X-rays (IXPE, NICER, Nustar and INTEGRAL), optical (REM and LCO), near-infrared…
Discovery of X-ray Polarization from the Black Hole Transient Swift J1727.8-1613
Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri, Michal Dovciak +113
We report the first detection of the X-ray polarization of the bright transient Swift J1727.8-1613 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. The observation was performed at the…
First X-ray polarization measurement confirms the low black-hole spin in LMC X-3
Jiří Svoboda, Michal Dovčiak, James F. Steiner +109
X-ray polarization is a powerful tool to investigate the geometry of accreting material around black holes, allowing independent measurements of the black hole spin and orientation…
A remarkably stable accretion disc in the Seyfert galaxy MCG-5-23-16
Roberto Serafinelli, Andrea Marinucci, Alessandra De Rosa +12
MCG-5-23-16 is a Seyfert 1.9 galaxy at redshift z=0.00849. We analyse here the X-ray spectra obtained with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR data, which are the first contemporaneous observati…
