X-ray polarimetry: historical remarks and other considerations [PDF]
, 2010 We briefly discuss the history of X-ray polarimetry for astronomical applications including a guide to the appropriate statistics. We also provide an introduction to some of the new techniques discussed in more detail elsewhere in these proceedings. We conclude our discussion with our concerns over adequate ground calibration, especially with respect ...Weisskopf, Martin C.openaire +3 more sourcesImaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer: prelaunch
Journal of Astronomical Telescopes, Instruments, and Systems, 2022 Launched on 2021 December 9, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a NASA Small Explorer Mission in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The mission will open a new window of investigation—imaging x-ray polarimetry. The observatory features three identical telescopes, each consisting of a mirror module assembly with a ...Martin C.

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT X Persei is a persistent low-luminosity X-ray pulsar of period of ≈ 835 s in a Be binary system. The field strength at the neutron star surface is not known precisely, but indirect signs indicate a magnetic field above 1013 G, which makes the object one of the most magnetized known X-ray pulsars.Mushtukov, A A, Tsygankov, S S, Poutanen, J, Doroshenko, V, Salganik, A, Costa, E, Marco, A Di, Heyl, J, Monaca, F La, Lutovinov, A A, Mereminsky, I A, Papitto, A, Semena, A N, Shtykovsky, A E, Suleimanov, V F, Forsblom, S V, González-Caniulef, D, Malacaria, C, Sunyaev, R A, Agudo, I, Antonelli, L A, Bachetti, M, Baldini, L, Baumgartner, W H, Bellazzini, R, Bianchi, S, Bongiorno, S D, Bonino, R, Brez, A, Bucciantini, N, Capitanio, F, Castellano, S, Cavazzuti, E, Chen, C-T, Ciprini, S, De , Rosa, A, Del Monte, E, Gesu, L Di, Lalla, N Di, Donnarumma, I, Dovčiak, M, Ehlert, S R, Enoto, T, Evangelista, Y, Fabiani, S, Ferrazzoli, R, Garcia, J A, Gunji, S, Hayashida, K, Iwakiri, W, Jorstad, S G, Kaaret, P, Karas, V, Kislat, F, Kitaguchi, T, Kolodziejczak, J J, Krawczynski, H, Latronico, L, Liodakis, I, Maldera, S, Manfreda, A, Marin, F, Marscher, A P, Marshall, H L, Massaro, F, Matt, G, Mitsuishi, I, Mizuno, T, Muleri, F, Negro, M, Ng, C-Y, O’Dell, S L, Omodei, N, Oppedisano, C, Pavlov, G G, Peirson, A L, Perri, M, Pesce-Rollins, M, Petrucci, P-O, Pilia, M, Possenti, A, Puccetti, S, Ramsey, B D, Rankin, J, Ratheesh, A, Roberts, O J, Romani, R W, Sgrò, C, Slane, P, Soffitta, P, Spandre, G, Swartz, D A, Tamagawa, T, Tavecchio, F, Taverna, R, Tawara, Y, Tennant, A F, Thomas, N E, Tombesi, F, Trois, A, Turolla, R, Vink, J, Weisskopf, M C, Wu, K, Xie, F, Zane, S +106 moreopenaire +7 more sourcesXIPE: the x-ray imaging polarimetry explorer [PDF]
