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 Polarization View of Mrk~421 in an Average Flux State as Observed by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer

Laura Di Gesu, Immacolata Donnarumma, Fabrizio Tavecchio +100

Particle acceleration mechanisms in supermassive black hole jets, such as shock acceleration, magnetic reconnection, and turbulence, are expected to have observable signatures in t…

Two decades of X-ray observations of the isolated neutron star RX J1856.5-3754: detection of thermal and non-thermal hard X-rays and refined spin-down measurement

Davide De Grandis, Michela Rigoselli, Sandro Mereghetti +6

The soft X-ray pulsar RX J1856.5-3754 is the brightest member of a small class of thermally-emitting, radio-silent, isolated neutron stars. Its X-ray spectrum is almost indistingui…

Thermal and non-thermal X-ray emission from the rotation-powered radio/-ray pulsar PSR J1740+1000

Michela Rigoselli, Sandro Mereghetti, Sara Anzuinelli +4

We report the results of new XMM-Newton observations of the middle-aged (10 yr) radio pulsar PSR J1740+1000 carried out in 2017-2018. These long pointings (530 ks)…

X-ray Emission from Isolated Neutron Stars revisited: 3D magnetothermal simulations

Davide De Grandis, Roberto Taverna, Roberto Turolla +4

X-ray emission from the surface of isolated neutron stars (NSs) has been now observed in a variety of sources. The ubiquitous presence of pulsations clearly indicates that thermal…

Spectral and polarization properties of black hole accretion disc emission: including absorption effects

Roberto Taverna, Lorenzo Marra, Stefano Bianchi +5

The study of radiation emitted from black hole accretion discs represents a crucial way to understand the main physical properties of these sources, and in particular the black hol…
