PolarLight Reveals the Corona Geometry in Sco X-1
10 1月 2022On 2022 January 1, Hua Feng and his collaborators reported in The Astrophysical Journal Letters a significant detection of X-ray polarization in Sco X-1 with the space mission PolarLight, which has been operating on-orbit for more than three years since its launch in 2018 October. The results help place stringent constraints on the geometry of the hot corona, and mark Sco X-1 as the second astr...
