X-Ray Polarization in SN 1006 Southwest Shows Spatial Variations and Differences in the Radio Band

We report the detection of a spatial variation of X-ray polarization in the southwestern (SW) shell of supernova remnant SN 1006 (SN 1006 SW) using the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The shell has an average X-ray polarization degree (PD) of 21.6% ± 4.5% and polarization angle of −48 ^∘...
