摘要:

本白皮书重点介绍了高通量宽带(0.1-60 keV)X射线偏振观测所带来的紧凑型物体和基础物理科学机遇。X射线偏振测量提供了新的观测与恒星残余物的几何信息,这是许多数量级太小,直接成像。X射线偏振数据还揭示了宇宙中最极端物体内部和周围磁场的发射机制和结构的细节。虽然将于2021年发射的成像X射线偏振探测器(IXPE)将获得明亮物体的第一个结果,但后续任务可能会更敏感一个数量级,并且能够使用更宽的带通对代表性的源样本进行物理类型的实验。

英文摘要:

This white paper highlights compact object and fundamental physics science opportunities afforded by high-throughput broadband (0.1-60 keV) X-ray polarization observations. X-ray polarimetry gives new observables with geometric information about stellar remnants which are many orders of magnitude too small for direct imaging. The X-ray polarimetric data also reveal details about the emission mechanisms and the structure of the magnetic fields in and around the most extreme objects in the Universe. Whereas the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) to be launched in 2021 will obtain first results for bright objects, a follow-up mission could be one order of magnitude more sensitive and would be able to use a broader bandpass to perform physics type experiments for representative samples of sources.
