Polarization Properties of the Weakly Magnetized Neutron Star X-Ray Binary GS 1826โ€“238 in the High Soft State

Abstract The launch of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) on 2021 December 9 has opened a new window in X-ray astronomy. We report here the results of the first IXPE observation of a weakly magnetized neutron star, GS 1826โˆ’238, performed on 2022 March 29โ€“31 when the source was in โ€ฆ
