Science, Volume 378, Issue 6620, pp.650-654. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.add53990036-80751095-9203https://hdl.handle.net/2144/46390A black hole x-ray binary (XRB) system forms when gas is stripped from a normal star and accretes onto a black hole, which heats the gas sufficiently to emit x-rays. We report a polarimetric observation of the XRB Cygnus X-1 using the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer. The electric field position angle aligns with the outflowing jet, indicating that the jet is launched from the inner x-ray-emitting region. The polarization degree is 4.01 ± 0.20% at 2 to 8 kiloelectronvolts, implying that the accretion disk is viewed closer to edge-on than the binary orbit. These observations reveal that hot x-ray-emitting plasma is spatially extended in a plane perpendicular to, not parallel to, the jet axis.p. 650-654Print-ElectronicenGeneral science & technologyArticle2023-02-0710.1126/science.add53990000-0002-1084-6507 (Krawczynski, Henric)0000-0003-3331-3794 (Muleri, Fabio)0000-0003-0079-1239 (Dovčiak, Michal)0000-0002-5767-7253 (Veledina, Alexandra)0000-0001-5256-0278 (Rodriguez Cavero, Nicole)0000-0003-2931-0742 (Svoboda, Jiri)0000-0002-5311-9078 (Ingram, Adam)0000-0002-2152-0916 (Matt, Giorgio)0000-0003-3828-2448 (Garcia, Javier A)0000-0002-6548-5622 (Negro, Michela)0000-0002-0983-0049 (Poutanen, Juri)0000-0001-5418-291X (Podgorný, Jakub)0000-0002-9774-0560 (Rankin, John)0000-0003-1702-4917 (Zhang, Wenda)0000-0002-9353-5164 (Berdyugin, Andrei)0000-0002-4622-4240 (Bianchi, Stefano)0000-0003-0611-5784 (Blinov, Dmitry)0000-0002-6384-3027 (Capitanio, Fiamma)0000-0002-7574-1298 (Di Lalla, Niccolò)0000-0002-2218-2306 (Draghis, Paul)0000-0002-7502-3173 (Kravtsov, Vadim)0000-0001-6314-9177 (Kiehlmann, Sebastian)0000-0002-0984-1856 (Latronico, Luca)0000-0002-6255-9972 (Lutovinov, Alexander A)0000-0003-2049-2690 (Marin, Frédéric)0000-0002-2055-4946 (Marinucci, Andrea)0000-0003-2869-7682 (Miller, Jon M)0000-0001-7263-0296 (Mizuno, Tsunefumi)0000-0002-5983-5788 (Molkov, Sergey V)0000-0002-5448-7577 (Omodei, Nicola)0000-0001-6061-3480 (Petrucci, Pierre-Olivier)0000-0003-0411-4243 (Ratheesh, Ajay)0000-0002-7146-9020 (Sakanoi, Takeshi)0000-0002-7781-4104 (Soffitta, Paolo)0000-0002-9443-6774 (Tennant, Allyn F)0000-0002-6562-8654 (Tombesi, Francesco)0000-0002-5270-4240 (Weisskopf, Martin C)0000-0003-2065-5410 (Wilms, Joern)0000-0002-3777-6182 (Agudo, Iván)0000-0002-4576-9337 (Bachetti, Matteo)0000-0002-9785-7726 (Baldini, Luca)0000-0002-0901-2097 (Bongiorno, Stephen D)0000-0002-4264-1215 (Bonino, Raffaella)0000-0003-1111-4292 (Castellano, Simone)0000-0001-7150-9638 (Cavazzuti, Elisabetta)0000-0002-0712-2479 (Ciprini, Stefano)0000-0002-3013-6334 (Del Monte, Ettore)0000-0002-5614-5028 (Di Gesu, Laura)0000-0003-0331-3259 (Di Marco, Alessandro)0000-0001-8162-1105 (Doroshenko, Victor)0000-0003-4420-2838 (Ehlert, Steven R)0000-0003-1244-3100 (Enoto, Teruaki)0000-0001-6096-6710 (Evangelista, Yuri)0000-0002-5881-2445 (Gunji, Shuichi)0000-0001-9739-367X (Heyl, Jeremy)0000-0001-6158-1708 (Jorstad, Svetlana G)0000-0002-0110-6136 (Kolodziejczak, Jeffery J)0000-0001-8916-4156 (La Monaca, Fabio)0000-0001-9200-4006 (Liodakis, Ioannis)0000-0002-0698-4421 (Maldera, Simone)0000-0002-0998-4953 (Manfreda, Alberto)0000-0001-7396-3332 (Marscher, Alan P)0000-0002-6492-1293 (Marshall, Herman L)0000-0002-5847-2612 (Ng, Chi-Yung)0000-0002-1868-8056 (O'Dell, Stephen L)0000-0001-6194-4601 (Oppedisano, Chiara)0000-0001-6289-7413 (Papitto, Alessandro)0000-0001-6292-1911 (Peirson, Abel L)0000-0003-3613-4409 (Perri, Matteo)0000-0003-1790-8018 (Pesce-Rollins, Melissa)0000-0001-5902-3731 (Possenti, Andrea)0000-0001-5676-6214 (Sgrò, Carmelo)0000-0003-0802-3453 (Spandre, Gloria)0000-0002-8801-6263 (Tamagawa, Toru)0000-0003-0256-0995 (Tavecchio, Fabrizio)0000-0002-1768-618X (Taverna, Roberto)0000-0002-9679-0793 (Tsygankov, Sergey)0000-0002-0105-5826 (Xie, Fei)0000-0001-5326-880X (Zane, Silvia)767955
