The Discovery of Rapid Polarization Angle Variation during the 2022 Outburst of XTE J1701-462

The geometry of the Comptonization corona in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries is still unclear. We conducted time-resolved polarimetric analysis of the archival observations of XTE J1701–462 obtained with the Imaging X-ray Polarimeter Explorer during its 2022 outburst and found that the polariza...
