Radiation from X-ray pulsars (XRPs) was expected to be strongly linearly polarized owing to
a large difference in their ordinary and extraordinary mode opacities. The launch of IXPE …

We report on Imaging X-ray polarimetry explorer (IXPE) observations of the Be-transient X-
ray pulsar LS V+ 44 17/RX J0440. 9+ 4431 made at two luminosity levels during the giant …

X-ray polarimetry is a unique way to probe the geometrical configuration of highly
magnetized accreting neutron stars (X-ray pulsars). GRO J1008− 57 is the first transient X …

Weakly magnetized neutron stars in X-ray binaries show a complex phenomenology with
several spectral components that can be associated with the accretion disk, the boundary …

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 …

The phase-and energy-resolved polarization measurements of accreting X-ray pulsars
(XRPs) allow us to test different theoretical models of their emission, and they also provide …

Discovery of pulsations from a number of ultra-luminous X-ray (ULX) sources proved that
accretion onto neutron stars can produce luminosities exceeding the Eddington limit by …

Accreting X-ray pulsars (XRPs) are presumed to be ideal targets for polarization
measurements, as their high magnetic field strength is expected to polarize the emission up …

The radiation from accreting X-ray pulsars was expected to be highly polarized, with some
estimates for the polarization degree of up to 80%. However, phase-resolved and energy …

Recent observations with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) of two anomalous X-
ray pulsars provided evidence that X-ray emission from magnetar sources is strongly …
