A Weighted Analysis to Improve the X-Ray Polarization Sensitivity of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer

Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a Small Explorer mission that was launched at the end of 2021 to measure the polarization of X-ray emission from tens of astronomical sources. Its focal-plane detectors are based on the Gas Pixel Detector, which measures the polarization by imaging photoe...
