Making the Invisible Visible: Magnetic Fields in Accretion Flows Revealed by X-Ray Polarization
Large-scale, strong magnetic fields are often evoked in black hole accretion flows, for jet launching in the low/hard state and to circumvent the thermal instability in the high/soft state. Here, we show how these ideas are strongly challenged by X-ray polarization measurements from the Imaging X-ra...
