IXPE Untangles Theories Surrounding Historic Supernova Remnant

NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) telescope has captured the first polarized X-ray imagery of the supernova remnant SN 1006. The new results expand scientists’ understanding of the relationship between magnetic fields and the flow of high-energy particles from exploding stars. “Magnetic fields are extremely difficult to measure, but IXPE provides an efficient way for […]
