Abstract
Theoretical models for the X-ray emission of accretion-powered pulsars predict a high degree and a strong spin-phase dependence of the X-ray polarization. Using observations of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer of the accreting pulsar Her X-1, we were able to test these predictions for the first time ever.
