Extended Data Fig. 2: Probability distribution function for the misalignment angle.
From: Determination of X-ray pulsar geometry with IXPE polarimetry
The distribution normalized to the peak value is shown for the misalignment angle between the pulsar and the orbital angular momenta. The red hatched region corresponds to the 68% confidence interval (that is between 16th and 84th percentiles of the posterior probability distribution). Four panels correspond to four different cases for the choice of χp: (A)χp = χp,* = 56.9°±1.6°; (B)χp = χp,* +180°; (C)χp = χp,* +90°; (D)χp = χp,* −90°.Here we take χorb = χorb,* = 28.9°±5.9°.
