Study Reveals How Exploded Star Still Accelerates Particles Near Light Speed
It measures about 15 miles (25 kilometres) in diameter and rotates 11 times every second, faster than a helicopter rotor.

NASA’s IXPE Creates History: Becomes First to Measure a White Dwarf Star
NASA’s IXPE has made a breakthrough by measuring a white dwarf star. The findings have revealed fresh details about X-Ray emissions, formations of matter, and more within the Binary system.

NASA's IXPE Solves Long-Standing Mystery Behind Black Hole Jets
NASA's IXPE mission has identified how X-rays are produced in the jet of a supermassive black hole, confirming that they originate from the same jet through synchrotron self-Compton scattering and resolving a long-standing question in X-ray astronomy

NASA’s IXPE Challenges Theories on Black Hole Corona and Polarised X-Ray Emissions
NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) has made surprising observations in a black hole binary system, detecting a high degree of X-ray polarisation that challenges current models of corona structure and accretion discs. In X-ray binaries, black holes pull matter from nearby stars, forming hot accretion discs and coronas.

NASA Solves Black Hole Jet X-ray Mystery with IXPE’s Polarization Powers
NASA’s IXPE satellite may have solved a longstanding astrophysical mystery: how are X-rays produced in the extreme jets of supermassive black holes? By observing the blazar BL Lacertae, IXPE recorded low X-ray polarization versus very high optical polarization—confirming Compton scattering as the likely mechanism. This breakthrough supports the...
