Of the four epochsof observations from the {\\it Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer}, we detected polarization in the 2$-$8 keV band on two epochs. From model-independent analysis of the observations on 28 October 2022, in the 2$-$8 keV band, we found the degree of polarization of $\\Pi_X$ = 9.0 $\\pm$ 1.6\\% and an electric vector position angle of $\\psi_X$ = 53 $\\pm$ 5 deg. Similarly, from the observations on 14 August 2023, we found $\\Pi_X$ and $\\psi_X$ values as 12.5 $\\pm$ 0.7\\% and 20 $\\pm$ 2 d"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"2311.01745","kind":"arxiv","version":2},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"integrity":{"clean":true,"summary":{"advisory":0,"critical":0,"by_detector":{},"informational":0},"endpoint":"/pith/2311.01745/integrity.json","findings":[],"available":true,"detectors_run":[],"snapshot_sha256":"c28c3603d3b5d939e8dc4c7e95fa8dfce3d595e45f758748cecf8e644a296938"},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
