X-Ray Polarized View on the Accretion Geometry in the X-Ray Binary Circinus X-1

John Rankin, Fabio La Monaca, Alessandro Di Marco +101

Cir X-1 is a neutron star X-ray binary characterized by strong variations in flux during its eccentric 16.6 days orbit. There are also strong variations in the spectral state…

Pulsar-wind-nebula-powered Galactic center X-ray filament G0.13-0.11: Proof of the synchrotron nature by IXPE

Eugene Churazov, Ildar Khabibullin, Thibault Barnouin +103

We report the discovery of X-ray polarization from the X-ray-bright filament. G0.13-0.11 in the Galactic center (GC) region. This filament features a bright, hard X-ray source that…

X-ray Polarization of the Eastern Lobe of SS 433

Philip Kaaret, Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Stefano Silvestri +103

How astrophysical systems translate the kinetic energy of bulk motion into the acceleration of particles to very high energies is a pressing question. SS 433 is a microquasar that…

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Studying Extreme Accretion with Ultraluminous X-ray Sources

Matteo Bachetti, Matthew J. Middleton, Ciro Pinto +25

Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) represent an extreme class of accreting compact objects: from the identification of some of the accretors as neutron stars to the detection of po…

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): resolving the nature of Sgr A* flares, compact object binaries and diffuse X-ray emission in the Galactic Center and beyond

Kaya Mori, Gabriele Ponti, Matteo Bachetti +24

HEX-P is a probe-class mission concept that will combine high spatial resolution X-ray imaging ( FWHM) and broad spectral coverage (0.2-80 keV) with an effective area far sup…

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Magnetars and Other Isolated Neutron Stars

J. A. J. Alford, G. A. Younes, Z. Wadiasingh +23

The hard X-ray emission from magnetars and other isolated neutron stars remains under-explored. An instrument with higher sensitivity to hard X-rays is critical to understanding th…
