IXPE measures 7.9% polarization in 4U 1822-37 with energy dependence and eclipse variation consistent with scattering in an extended corona at high inclination.
Long-term X-ray monitoring indicates Swift J174610.4-290018 is a recurrent nova similar to RS Oph rather than an accretion-disk corona source.
