Accretion geometry of the neutron star low mass X-ray binary Cyg X-2 from X-ray polarization measurements
R. Farinelli, S. Fabiani, J. Poutanen +92
We report spectro-polarimetric results of an observational campaign of the bright neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Cyg X-2 simultaneously observed by IXPE, NICER and INTEGRAL. Co…
Mapping the circumnuclear regions of the Circinus galaxy with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
F. Ursini, A. Marinucci, G. Matt +94
We report on the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observation of the closest and X-ray brightest Compton-thick active galactic nucleus (AGN), the Circinus galaxy. We find…
X-ray Polarization Observations of BL Lacertae
Riccardo Middei, Ioannis Liodakis, Matteo Perri +143
Blazars are a class of jet-dominated active galactic nuclei with a typical double-humped spectral energy distribution. It is of common consensus the Synchrotron emission to be resp…
Observations of 4U 1626-67 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Herman L. Marshall, Mason Ng, Daniele Rogantini +91
We present measurements of the polarization of X-rays in the 2-8 keV band from the pulsar in the ultracompact low mass X-ray binary 4U1626-67 using data from the Imaging X-ray Pola…
The X-ray polarimetry view of the accreting pulsar Cen X-3
Sergey S. Tsygankov, Victor Doroshenko, Juri Poutanen +95
Cen X-3 is the first X-ray pulsar discovered 50 years ago. Radiation from such objects is expected to be highly polarized due to birefringence of plasma and vacuum associated with…
Polarized Blazar X-rays imply particle acceleration in shocks
Ioannis Liodakis, Alan P. Marscher, Iván Agudo +125
Most of the light from blazars, active galactic nuclei with jets of magnetized plasma that point nearly along the line of sight, is produced by high-energy particles, up to $\sim 1…
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…
Search for new cosmic-ray acceleration sites within the 4FGL catalog Galactic plane sources
LAT Collaboration, S. Abdollahi, F. Acero +117
Cosmic rays are mostly composed of protons accelerated to relativistic speeds. When those protons encounter interstellar material, they produce neutral pions which in turn decay in…
Advancing the Landscape of Multimessenger Science in the Next Decade
Kristi Engel, Tiffany Lewis, Marco Stein Muzio +91
The last decade has brought about a profound transformation in multimessenger science. Ten years ago, facilities had been built or were under construction that would eventually dis…
The Future of Gamma-Ray Experiments in the MeV-EeV Range
Kristi Engel, Jordan Goodman, Petra Huentemeyer +95
Gamma-rays, the most energetic photons, carry information from the far reaches of extragalactic space with minimal interaction or loss of information. They bring messages about par…
A weighted analysis to improve the X-ray polarization sensitivity of IXPE
Alessandro Di Marco, Enrico Costa, Fabio Muleri +29
IXPE is a Small Explorer mission that was launched at the end of 2021 to measure the polarization of X-ray emission from tens of astronomical sources. Its focal plane detectors are…
Incremental Fermi Large Area Telescope Fourth Source Catalog
LAT collaboration, Soheila Abdollahi, Fabio Acero +137
We present an incremental version (4FGL-DR3, for Data Release 3) of the fourth Fermi-LAT catalog of gamma-ray sources. Based on the first twelve years of science data in the energy…
