The Long Quest for Vacuum Birefringence in Magnetars: 1E 1547.0–5408 and the Elusive Smoking Gun

Magnetars are now known to be among the most strongly polarized celestial sources in X-rays. Here, we report on the 500 ks observation of the magnetar 1E 1547.0−5408 performed by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) in 2025 March. The IXPE spectrum is well reproduced by a single thermal com...
