Polarized Gamma-Ray Emission from the Galactic Black Hole Cygnus X-1

Polarized Gamma-Ray Emission from the Galactic Black Hole Cygnus X-1

Because of their inherently high flux allowing the detection of clear signals, black hole X-ray binaries are interesting candidates for polarization studies, even if no polarization signals have been observed from them before. Such measurements would provide further detailed insight into these sources' emission mechanisms. We measured the polarization of …
