X-Ray Polarimetric Observations of the Western Hotspot of Pictor A

X-Ray Polarimetric Observations of the Western Hotspot of Pictor A

We present the results of the analysis of a ∼2 Msec spectropolarimetric observation of the western hotspot (WHS) of the radio galaxy Pictor A. This is the brightest extragalactic radio source that allows us to carry out spatially resolved observations using the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IX...
