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 first dense X-ray polarization monitoring campaign on the blazar Mrk 421.

X-ray polarisation signatures in bombarded magnetar atmospheres

Autor: Kelly, Ruth M. E., González-Caniulef, Denis, Zane, Silvia, Turolla, Roberto, Taverna, Roberto

Magnetars are neutron stars that host huge, complex magnetic fields which require supporting currents to flow along the closed field lines. This makes magnetar atmospheres different from those of passively cooling neutron stars because of the heat de
