Abstract:
Abstract Fifty years after the very first sounding rocket measurement of cosmic X-ray polarization, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission has effectively opened a new window into the X-ray sky. Prior to launch of IXPE, an extensive calibration campaign was carried out to fully characterize the response of this new type of instrument. Specifically, the polarization-sensitive detectors were intensively calibrated in Italy, where they were developed and built. The X-ray optics, which collect and focus X-rays onto the detectors, were built and calibrated in the USA. A key question

Abstract:
The development and calibration of a measurement system designed for assessing the performance of the avalanche photodiodes (APDs) used in the Compton scattering polarimeter of the CUSP project is discussed in this work. The designed system is able to characterize the APD gain GAPD and energy resolution across a wide range of temperatures T (from −20 °C to +60 °C) and bias voltages Vbias (from 260 V to 410 V). The primary goal was to experimentally determine the GAPD dependence on the T and Vbias in order to establish a strategy for stabilizing GAPD by compensating for T fluctuations, acting o

Abstract The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a NASA Small Explorer mission—in partnership with the Italian Space Agency—dedicated to X-ray polarimetry in the 2–8 keV energy band. The IXPE telescope comprises three grazing incidence mirror modules coupled to three detector units hosting each one a Gas Pixel Detector, a gas detector that allows measuring the polarization degree by using the photoelectric effect. A wide and accurate ground calibration was carried out on the IXPE Detector Units at INAF-IAPS, in Italy, where a dedicated facility was setup at this aim. In this paper, we

Abstract:
X-ray polarimetry promises to give qualitatively new information about high-energy astrophysical sources, such as binary black hole systems, micro-quasars, active galactic nuclei, neutron stars, and gamma-ray bursts. We designed, built and tested a X-ray polarimeter, X-Calibur, to be used in the focal plane of the balloon-borne InFOCμS grazing incidence X-ray telescope. X-Calibur combines a low-Z scatterer with a Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detector assembly to measure the polarization of 20–80 keV X-rays making use of the fact that polarized photons scatter preferentially perpendicular to th

Abstract An observation simulator is established, on an event-by-event basis, for the Polarimetry Focusing telescope Array (PFA) on board the planned enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry observatory (eXTP). An event generator, based on XIMPOL, is used to sample the parameters of the X-rays reaching the aperture of the telescope. The trajectories and interactions of X-rays through the telescope and the corresponding secondaries are calculated using the optics and detector simulation model built in GEANT4, before being translated into signals in the pixelated readout electronics.

Abstract:
Abstract Spatially resolved polarization measurements of extended X-ray sources are expanding our understanding of the emission mechanisms and magnetic field properties involved. Such measurements have been possible in the past few years thanks to the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). However, the analysis of extended sources suffers a systematic effect known as polarization leakage, which artificially affects the measured polarization signal. To address this issue, we built a hybrid reconstruction algorithm, which combines machine learning and analytic techniques to improve the recon

Abstract:
An observatory dedicated to X-ray polarimetry has been operational since 9 December 2021. The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), a collaboration between NASA and ASI, features three X-ray telescopes equipped with detectors sensitive to linear polarization set to 120°. This marks the first instance of a three-telescope SMEX mission. Upon reaching orbit, an extending boom was deployed, extending the optics and detector to a focal length of 4 m. IXPE targets each celestial source through dithering observations. This method is essential for supporting on-ground calibrations by averaging th

La polarimetria è l'ultima branca dell'Astronomia nella banda dei raggi X ancora inesplorata. Nonostante un vasto interesse testimoniato da un'estesa letteratura, il suo sviluppo è stato impedito dalla mancanza di dispositivi la cui sensibilità giustificasse l'inserimento di polarimetri X a bordo delle missioni spaziali moderne. Ciononostante nuovi strumenti basati sull'effetto fotoelettrico, capaci di risolvere le tracce dei fotoelettroni in un gas, offrono oggi la possibilità di colmare il divario tra aspettative teoriche e gli scarsi risultati ad oggi raggiunti: in questo ambito, uno dei pr

Context: X-ray polarimetry provides two missing observables in the high energy domain, namely the polarization degree and angle, making it possible to obtain information on the geometry and emission processes of high energy celestial sources.
