IXPE detection of polarized X-rays from magnetars and photon mode conversion at QED vacuum resonance
The recent observations of the anomalous X-ray pulsars 4U 0142+61 and 1RXS J170849.0-400910 by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) opened up a new avenue to study magnetars, neutron stars endowed with superstrong magnetic fields (B ≳ 10(14) G). The detected polarized X-rays from 4U 0142+61...
