Abstract
Launched in December 9, 2021 as a SMEX (Small Explorer) NASA mission, IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) is the result of a NASA/ASI joint effort to build the first telescope with space-resolved spectro-polarimetric ca- pabilities in the soft X-ray band. In its first year of activity, IXPE successfully sampled tens of diverse sources, sometimes giving rise to quite unexpected results. In this contribution we briefly summarize the characteristics of the mission and its main results for selected extended sources that fully exploit IXPE’s potential.
