Star-XP: A simulation framework for Polar-2/ low energy X-ray polarization detector
SoftwareXStar-XP is a simulation framework specifically designed for the Low Energy X-ray Polarization Detector (LPD) onboard the POLAR-2 mission. It is capable of simulating the emission of particles from given sources and the interaction of these particles with

General relativistic x ray (UV) polarization rotations as a quantitative test for black holes [PDF]
It is now 11 years since a potentially easily observable and quantitative test for black holes using general relativistic polarization rotations was proposed (Stark and Connors 1977, and Connors and Stark 1977).

The soft X-ray polarization in obscured AGN
, 2009 The soft X-ray emission in obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) is dominated by emission lines, produced in a gas photoionized by the nuclear continuum and likely spatially coincident with the optical narrow line region (NLR). However, a fraction of the

Spatiotemporally Resolved Orbital Hall Effect in a Topological Semimetal
Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 4, 16 January 2026.Real‐space mapping of orbital angular momentum (OAM) transport is achieved using contact‐free polarimetric terahertz spectroscopy. This principle is applied to the topological semimetal Td‐WTe2, revealing the spatial separation of electrons into two distinct regions characterized by opposite out‐of‐plane OAM (±Lz).

X-Ray and Gamma-Ray Polarization in Leptonic and Hadronic Jet Models of Blazars
, 2013 We present a theoretical analysis of the expected X-ray and gamma-ray polarization signatures resulting from synchrotron self-Compton emission in leptonic models, compared to the polarization signatures from proton synchrotron and cascade synchrotron ...

Stellar X-Ray Polarimetry [PDF]
, 2011 Most of the stellar end-state black holes, pulsars, and white dwarfs that are X-ray sources should have polarized X-ray fluxes. The degree will depend on the relative contributions of the unresolved structures.
