Evidence for vacuum birefringence from the first optical-polarimetry measurement of the isolated neutron star RX J1856.5−3754 (2016, background): “With X-ray polarimetry still moving its first steps and dedicated polarimetric missions, such as XIPE1 (Soffitta et al. 2013) and IXPE (Weisskopf et al. 2013), having just been proposed, other energy ranges must be explored.”
Testing black hole candidates with electromagnetic radiation (2015, background): “However, it will hopefully be possible in the near future, for instance with the missions eXTP, XIPE, IXPE, and PRAXYS.”
Active galactic nuclei: what’s in a name? (2017, methodology): “Finally, the X-ray Imaging Polarimetry Explorer (XIPE38; Soffitta et al. 2016) is a new mission concept selected by ESA in 2015 to undergo a 2 year-long assessment phase in”
Analyzing the data from X-ray polarimeters with Stokes parameters (2014, background): “More recently, various wider-bandpass polarimeters have been developed, including photoelectric effect polarimeters (e.g. the polarimeters of the proposed GEMS [11] and XIPE [12] missions) and scattering polarimeters (e.g. the polarimeters of the X-Calibur [13] and PoGOLite [14] missions).”
