   Sammanfattning : X-ray polarimetry, the study of the polarisation of X-ray light, is a powerful and rapidly developing tool for astrophysics, which promises to help answer outstanding questions about the physics of extreme objects such as pulsars, X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei. The balloon-borne telescope XL-Calibur will be the first instrument to study the polarisation of hard X-rays (with energies between 10 and 100 keV) in detail, correlating with the soft X-ray observations of IXPE to provide further tests of polarisation-dependent x-ray emission models in extreme objects.

3. 2. Original: X-ray Spectral Analysis of a Serendipitously Observed Active Galactic Nucleus

   Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Författare :Teodor Elmfeldt; Filip af Malmborg; [2020]
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : An active galactic nucleus (AGN) is a region in the center of a galaxy with a supermassive black hole continuosly accreting material. This accretion gives rise to large amounts of radiation across the whole electromagnetic spectrum, and largely affects the regions around the AGN and the evolution of the whole galaxy. LÄS MER
