A deep ensemble approach to X-ray polarimetry

open access: yesCoRR, 2021
X-ray polarimetry will soon open a new window on the high energy universe with the launch of NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). Polarimeters are currently limited by their track reconstruction algorithms, which typically use linear estimators and do not consider individual event quality.

X-ray polarimetry of X-ray pulsar X Persei: another orthogonal rotator?

open access: yesMonthly 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.

Galactic X-ray Polarimetry and High-Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1973
Stellar X-ray spectroscopy and polarimetry are discussed in terms of the source parameters that can be determined through such studies and in terms of the constraints that these studies will place on theoretical models. The spectroscopic and polarimetric results that have been obtained to date are reviewed.

The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE): technical overview

open access: yes, 2018
The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) will expand the information space for study of cosmic sources, by adding linear polarization to the properties (time, energy, and position) observed in x-ray astronomy.

X-ray polarimetry with the microstrip gas chamber

open access: yesJournal of Synchrotron Radiation, 1998
A two-dimensional microstrip gas chamber (MSGC) with a 5 cm × 5 cm detection area has been developed. It has 254 anodes and 255 back strips, both with 200 µm pitches. Using this MSGC, linear polarization of X-rays was successfully measured in the energy range 6–14 keV.

The enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission—eXTP [PDF]

open access: yesScience China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy, 2018
In this paper we present the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission - eXTP. eXTP is a space science mission designed to study fundamental physics under extreme conditions of density, gravity and magnetism. The mission aims at determining the equation of state of matter at supra-nuclear density, measuring effects of QED, and understanding the ...

Epitaxially Integrated Electro‐Optic KNbO3 Thin Films on Silicon

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate the first epitaxial integration of electro‐optic KNbO3 thin films on silicon using suboxide molecular‐beam epitaxy. Combining adsorption‐controlled molecular‐beam epitaxy, advanced characterization, and phase‐field modeling, we demonstrate phase‐pure crystalline films mirroring bulk crystals with robust Pockels response, enabling future ...

A gas pixel detector for x-ray polarimetry

open access: yesNuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2006
Even though lacking of solid experimental verifications, X-ray polarimetry is strongly established as a deep diagnostic tool for probing the emission mechanisms in astronomical sources of high energy radiation. The recent development of new, more efficient instrumentation, as well as the renewed interest of the theoreticians, has drawn a significant ...

Efficient Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Waveguide Polarizing Splitters for High‐Sensitivity Chip‐Scale Atomic Magnetometry

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An integrated polarimetry architecture based on a cholesteric liquid crystal waveguide polarization splitter overcomes the volumetric bottleneck in chip‐scale atomic magnetometers. By leveraging Bragg‐selective reflection and total‐internal‐reflection‐induced helicity inversion, this ultrathin device enables efficient circular polarization splitting ...
