X-Ray Polarimetry as a Tool to Constrain Orbital Parameters in X-Ray Binaries
X-ray binary systems consist of a companion star and a compact object in close orbit. Thanks to their copious X-ray emission, these objects have been studied in detail using X-ray spectroscopy and timing. The inclination of these systems is a major uncertainty in the determination of the mass of the …
