Broadband radio study of the supernova remnant Kes 73
S. Loru, A. Ingallinera, A. Pellizzoni +16
Strong shocks occurring in supernova remnants (SNRs), and their interaction with an often anisotropic surrounding medium, make SNRs ideal laboratories for studying the production a…
Variability of X-ray polarization of Cyg X-1
Vadim Kravtsov, Anastasiia Bocharova, Alexandra Veledina +31
We present the results of a three-year X-ray, optical, and radio polarimetric monitoring campaign of the prototypical black hole X-ray binary Cyg X-1, conducted from 2022 to 2024.…
The First High Frequency Technosignature Search Survey with the Sardinia Radio Telescope
Lorenzo Manunza, Alice Vendrame, Luca Pizzuto +30
The quest for radio signals from technologically-advanced extraterrestrial intelligence has traditionally concentrated on the vicinity of 1.4 GHz. In this paper, we extend the sear…
Recovery of the X-ray polarisation of Swift J1727.81613 after the soft-to-hard spectral transition
J. Podgorný, J. Svoboda, M. DovÄiak +34
We report on the detection of X-ray polarisation in the black-hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613 during its dim hard spectral state by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (I…
Cygnus X-3 revealed as a Galactic ultraluminous X-ray source by IXPE
Alexandra Veledina, Fabio Muleri, Juri Poutanen +127
The accretion of matter by compact objects can be inhibited by radiation pressure if the luminosity exceeds the critical value, known as the Eddington limit. Discovery of ultralumi…
Dramatic Drop in the X-Ray Polarization of Swift J1727.81613 in the Soft Spectral State
JiÅÃ Svoboda, Michal DovÄiak, James F. Steiner +34
Black-hole X-ray binaries exhibit different spectral and timing properties in different accretion states. The X-ray outburst of a recently discovered and extraordinarily bright sou…
