A variable magnetic disc wind in the black hole X-ray binary GRS 1915+105?
Ajay Ratheesh, Francesco Tombesi, Kiego Fukumura +3
GRS 1915+105 being one of the brightest transient black hole binary (BHB) in the X-rays, offers a unique test-bed for the study of the connection between accretion and ejection mec…
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…
In-flight calibration system of Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Riccardo Ferrazzoli, Fabio Muleri, Carlo Lefevre +22
The NASA/ASI Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, which will be launched in 2021, will be the first instrument to perform spatially resolved X-ray polarimetry on several astronomica…
In-orbit Operation and Performance of the CubeSat Soft X-ray Polarimeter PolarLight
Hong Li, Xiangyun Long, Hua Feng +21
PolarLight is a compact soft X-ray polarimeter onboard a CubeSat, which was launched into a low-Earth orbit on October 29, 2018. In March 2019, PolarLight started full operation, a…
Prospects for IXPE and eXTP polarimetric archaeology of the reflection nebulae in the Galactic center
L. Di Gesu, R. Ferrazzoli, I. Donnarumma +5
The X-ray polarization properties of the reflection nebulae in the Galactic center inform us about the direction of the illuminating source (through the polarization angle) and the…
An X-Ray Burst from a Magnetar Enlightening the Mechanism of Fast Radio Bursts
M. Tavani, C. Casentini, A. Ursi +60
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are short (millisecond) radio pulses originating from enigmatic sources at extragalactic distances so far lacking a detection in other energy bands. Magnet…
