    Polarized blazar X-rays imply particle acceleration in shocks

    Most of the light from blazars, active galactic nuclei with jets of magnetized plasma that point nearly along the line of sight, is produced by high-energy particles, up to around 1 TeV. Although the jets are ...

    Infrared spectropolarimetric detection of intrinsic polarization from a core-collapse supernova

    Massive stars die an explosive death as a core-collapse supernova (CCSN). The exact physical processes that cause the collapsing star to rebound into an explosion are not well understood13, and the key to resolv...
