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…
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…
Compact CubeSat Gamma-Ray Detector for GRID Mission
Jia-Xing Wen, Xu-Tao Zheng, Jian-Dong Yu +18
Gamma-Ray Integrated Detectors (GRID) mission is a student project designed to use multiple gamma-ray detectors carried by nanosatellites (CubeSats), forming a full-time all-sky ga…
Discrimination of background events in the PolarLight X-ray polarimeter
Jiahuan Zhu, Hong Li, Hua Feng +22
PolarLight is a space-borne X-ray polarimeter that measures the X-ray polarization via electron tracking in an ionization chamber. It is a collimated instrument and thus suffers fr…
Modeling the in-orbit background of PolarLight
Jiahui Huang, Hua Feng, Hong Li +23
PolarLight is a gas pixel X-ray polarimeter mounted on a CubeSat, which was launched into a Sun-synchronous orbit in October 2018. We build a mass model of the whole CubeSat with t…
