X-ray Polarimetry of the accreting pulsar 1A~0535+262 in the supercritical state with PolarLight
Xiangyun Long, Hua Feng, Hong Li +25
The X-ray pulsar 1A 0535+262 exhibited a giant outburst in 2020, offering us a unique opportunity for X-ray polarimetry of an accreting pulsar in the supercritical state. Measureme…
GRB 220408B: A Three-Episode Burst from a Precessing Jet
Zijian Zhang, Yihan Yin, Chenyu Wang +27
Jet precession has previously been proposed to explain the apparently repeating features in the light curves of a few gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). In this {\it Letter}, we further appl…
A significant detection of X-ray Polarization in Sco X-1 with PolarLight and constraints on the corona geometry
Xiangyun Long, Hua Feng, Hong Li +23
We report the detection of X-ray polarization in the neutron star low mass X-ray binary Scorpius (Sco) X-1 with PolarLight. The result is energy dependent, with a non-detection in…
EuCAPT White Paper: Opportunities and Challenges for Theoretical Astroparticle Physics in the Next Decade
R. Alves Batista, M. A. Amin, G. Barenboim +134
Astroparticle physics is undergoing a profound transformation, due to a series of extraordinary new results, such as the discovery of high-energy cosmic neutrinos with IceCube, the…
GRB 210121A: A Typical Fireball Burst Detected by Two Small Missions
Xiangyu Ivy Wang, Xutao Zheng, Shuo Xiao +48
The Chinese CubeSat Mission, Gamma Ray Integrated Detectors (GRID), recently detected its first gamma-ray burst, GRB 210121A, which was jointly observed by the Gravitational wave h…
X-ray polarimetry of the Crab nebula with PolarLight: polarization recovery after the glitch and a secular position angle variation
Xiangyun Long, Hua Feng, Hong Li +24
We report follow-up observations of the Crab nebula with the PolarLight X-ray polarimeter, which revealed a possible variation in polarization associated with a pulsar glitch in 20…
Re-detection and a Possible Time Variation of Soft X-ray Polarisation from the Crab
Hua Feng, Hong Li, Xiangyun Long +24
The Crab nebula is so far the only celestial object with a statistically significant detection in soft x-ray polarimetry, a window that has not been explored in astronomy since the…
