The First Polarimetric View on Quasiperiodic Oscillations in a Black Hole X-Ray Binary

Abstract We present the first polarimetric analysis of quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) in a black hole binary utilizing IXPE data. Our study focuses on Swift J1727.8–1613, which experienced a massive outburst that was observed by various telescopes across different wavelengths. The IXPE observation we studied was conducted during the hard-intermediate state. …
