Abstract

Abstract The accretion-powered X-ray pulsar GX 301−2 was observed with the balloon-borne X-Calibur hard X-ray polarimeter during late 2018 December, with contiguous observations by the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer Mission ( NICER ) X-ray telescope, the Swift X-ray Telescope and Burst A...
