Insights from the first flaring activity of a high-synchrotron-peaked blazar with X-ray polarization and VHE gamma rays
MAGIC Collaboration, K. Abe, S. Abe +250
We study a flaring activity of the HSP Mrk421 that was characterized from radio to very-high-energy (VHE; E TeV) gamma rays with MAGIC, Fermi-LAT, Swift, XMM-Newton and sever…

A second view on the X-ray polarization of NGC 4151 with IXPE
V. E. Gianolli, S. Bianchi, E. Kammoun +21
We report on the second observing program of the active galactic nucleus NGC 4151 with simultaneous Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE; {\sim}750 ks), NuSTAR ({\sim}60 ks), X…

X-ray polarization measurement of the gold standard of radio-quiet active galactic nuclei : NGC 1068
F. Marin, A. Marinucci, M. Laurenti +102
We used the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) satellite to measure, for the first time, the 2-8 keV polarization of NGC 1068. We pointed IXPE for a net exposure time of 1.1…
