NASA 's IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer ) has helped astronomers better understand the shapes of structures essential to a black hole.

The stellar-mass black hole, part of the binary system Swift J1727.8-1613, was discovered in the summer of 2023 .

It is the first of its kind to be observed by IXPE as it goes through the start, peak and conclusion.

The studies also demonstrate IXPE's value as a tool for determining how all these elements of the system are connected, as well as its potential to collaborate with other observatories.

"The successful first observing campaign of Swift J1727.81613 in different states is the best start of a new chapter we could imagine," says Michal Doviak , co-author of the series of papers.
