IXPE Observation of the Low-Synchrotron Peaked Blazar S4 0954+65 During An Optical-X-ray Flare

Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Francesco Fenu +134

The X-ray polarization observations made possible with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) offer new ways of probing high-energy emission processes in astrophysical jets…

A Two-Week Monitoring Campaign on Mrk 421

W. Peter Maksym, Ioannis Liodakis, M. Lynne Saade +153

X-ray polarization is a unique new probe of the particle acceleration in astrophysical jets made possible through the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. Here we report on the firs…

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…

Investigating the interplay between the coronal properties and the hard X-ray variability of active galactic nuclei with NuSTAR

Roberto Serafinelli, Alessandra De Rosa, Alessia Tortosa +11

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are extremely variable in the X-ray band down to very short timescales. However, the driver behind the X-ray variability is still poorly understood. Pr…

Investigating the nuclear properties of highly accreting active galactic nuclei with XMM-Newton

M. Laurenti, F. Tombesi, F. Vagnetti +7

Our understanding of highly accreting AGNs is hampered by the lack of a complete systematic investigation in terms of their main spectral and variability properties, and by the rel…

X-ray and multiwavelength polarization of Mrk 501 from 2022 to 2023

Chien-Ting J. Chen, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei +143

We present multiwavelength polarization measurements of the luminous blazar Mrk~501 over a 14-month period. The 2--8 keV X-ray polarization was measured with the Imaging X-ray Pola…
