"An #IXPE-Led X-ray Spectro-Polarimetric Campaign on the Soft State of Cygnus X-1: X-ray Polarimetric Evidence for Strong Gravitational Lensing"➡️ https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024arXiv240612014S/abstract , ApJ accepted
🤯 Soft X-ray polarization in the black hole X-ray binary Cygnus X-1 can be explained by returning radiation, i.e. radiation from the disk returning back due to GR effects & reflected off the disk!
