Discovery of strongly variable X-ray polarization in the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary transient XTE J1701$-$462

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Massimo Cocchi, Andrea Gnarini, Sergio Fabiani, Francesco Ursini, Juri Poutanen | Summary: After about 16 years since its first outburst, the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1701$-$462 turned on again in September 2022, allowing for the first study of its X-ray polarimetric characteristics by […]

No thick carbon dioxide atmosphere on the rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 c

Kavli Affiliate: Laura Schaefer | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Seven rocky planets orbit the nearby dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, providing a unique opportunity to search for atmospheres on small planets outside the Solar System (Gillon et al., 2017). Thanks to the recent launch of JWST, possible atmospheric constituents such as carbon […]

Filamentary Dust Polarization and the Morphology of Neutral Hydrogen Structures

Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: George Halal, Susan E. Clark, Ari Cukierman, Dominic Beck, Chao-Lin Kuo | Summary: Filamentary structures in neutral hydrogen (H I) emission are well-aligned with the interstellar magnetic field, so H I emission morphology can be used to construct templates that strongly correlate with measurements of polarized […]

The need for focused, hard X-ray investigations of the Sun

Kavli Affiliate: Vahe Petrosian | First 5 Authors: Lindsay Glesener, Albert Y. Shih, Amir Caspi, Ryan Milligan, Hugh Hudson | Summary: Understanding the nature of energetic particles in the solar atmosphere is one of the most important outstanding problems in heliophysics. Flare-accelerated particles compose a huge fraction of the flare energy budget; they have large […]
