Physics Colloquium with Phil Kaaret on "Science Results from the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)"
Phil Kaaret (hosted by Henric Krawczynski) from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center will be presenting on "Science Results from the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE)" at the Colloquium.
The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is the first mission dedicated to X-ray polarimetry and provides an order of magnitude increase in sensitivity over previous instruments. IXPE has made discoveries impacting our understanding of the geometry of accretion flows onto black holes, particle acceleration in blazar jets, the magnetic field configuration in supernova remnants, and more. This talk will present selected science highlights.
