Polarized x-rays constrain the disk-jet geometry in the black hole x-ray binary Cygnus X-1

H Krawczynski, F Muleri, M Dovčiak, A Veledina… - Science, 2022 - science.org
A black hole x-ray binary (XRB) system forms when gas is stripped from a normal star and
accretes onto a black hole, which heats the gas sufficiently to emit x-rays. We report a …
