The first polarimetric signatures of infrared jets in X-ray binaries
We present near-infrared linear spectropolarimetry of a sample of persistent X-ray binaries, Sco X-1, Cyg X-2 and GRS1915+105. The slopes of the spectra are shallower than what is expected from a standard steady-state accretion disc, and can be explained if the near-infrared flux contains a contribu...
