Using observations of X-ray pulsar Hercules X-1 by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
we report a highly significant (> 17 σ) detection of the polarization signal from an accreting …

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 …

The first X-ray pulsar, Cen X-3, was discovered 50 yr ago. Radiation from such objects is
expected to be highly polarized due to birefringence of plasma and vacuum associated with …

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 …

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 …

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 …

We present measurements of the polarization of X-rays in the 2–8 keV band from the pulsar
in the ultracompact low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1626–67 using data from the Imaging X-Ray …

We present a systematic study of the unbinned, photon-by-photon likelihood technique
which can be used as an alternative method to analyse phase-dependent, X-ray spectro …
