Analysis of Crab X-ray Polarization using Deeper IXPE Observations

Josephine Wong, Tsunefumi Mizuno, Niccoló Bucciantini +98

We present Crab X-ray polarization measurements using IXPE data with a total exposure of 300ks, three times more than the initial 2022 discovery paper. Polarization is detected in…

Shockingly Bright Warm Carbon Monoxide Molecular Features in the Supernova Remnant Cassiopeia A Revealed by JWST

J. Rho, S. -H. Park, R. Arendt +36

We present JWST NIRCam (F356W and F444W filters) and MIRI (F770W) images and NIRSpec- IFU spectroscopy of the young supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). We obtained the data as…

Upper limits on the radio pulses from magnetars and a central compact object with FAST

Wan-Jin Lu, Ping Zhou, Pei Wang +5

Magnetars and central compact objects (CCOs) are subgroups of neutron stars that show a number of properties distinguished from canonical radio pulsars. We performed radio observat…

The detection of polarized x-ray emission from the magnetar 1E 2259+586

Jeremy Heyl, Roberto Taverna, Roberto Turolla +98

We report on IXPE, NICER and XMM-Newton observations of the magnetar 1E 2259+586. We find that the source is significantly polarized at about or above 20% for all phases except for…

IXPE and multi-wavelength observations of blazar PG 1553+113 reveal an orphan optical polarization swing

Riccardo Middei, Matteo Perri, Simonetta Puccetti +119

The lower energy peak of the spectral energy distribution of blazars has commonly been ascribed to synchrotron radiation from relativistic particles in the jets. Despite the consen…

Vela pulsar wind nebula x-rays are polarized to near the synchrotron limit

Fei Xie, Alessandro Di Marco, Fabio La Monaca +90

Pulsar wind nebulae are formed when outflows of relativistic electrons and positrons hit the surrounding supernova remnant or interstellar medium at a shock front. The Vela pulsar…
