First Polarimetric View of GX 349+2 with the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer

We conducted a spectropolarimetric study of the bright Z source GX 349+2 using the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observation. Our findings reveal a significant polarization degree (PD) of 1.1% ± 0.3% in the 2.0–8.0 keV energy range. Spectropolarimetric analysis was performed by modeling...
