Polarized synchrotron emission in quiescent black hole X-ray transients

Posted on 02/05/2018 by Matthew Allen

D.M. Russell (NYUAD), T. Shahbaz (IAC, Spain), Fraser Lewis (FT/LMU), E. Gallo (Michigan) We present near-infrared polarimetric observations of the black hole X-ray binaries Swift J1357.2-0933 and A0620-00. In both sources, recent studies have demonstrated the presence of variable infrared …
