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.
XSPECT observations of two soft X-ray transients during outburst decay reveal superburst evolution with cooling blackbody emission and a flux-dependent hardening of Comptonized spectra.
NuSTAR and NICER data on SAX J1808.4-3658 show the accretion disk truncating to ~23 R_g in 2025 with magnetospheric radius exceeding co-rotation radius, indicating a possible transition to the propeller regime while accretion continues as evidenced by a Type-I burst.
