Polarised X-ray emission from the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 during an X-ray outburst and a type-I X-ray burst
Modelling the X-ray pulse profiles of accreting millisecond pulsars (AMSPs) is a key technique to constrain the masses and radii of neutron stars. To this end, measuring the properties of polarised X-rays provides crucial information on the system geometry. We present the significant detection by IXPE of linearly polar...
