Intensity and Polarization Characteristics of Extended Neutron Star Surface Regions
Kun Hu, Matthew G. Baring, Joseph A. Barchas +1
The surfaces of neutron stars are sources of strongly polarized soft X rays due to the presence of strong magnetic fields. Radiative transfer mediated by electron scattering and fr…

Polarized Radiation Transfer in Neutron Star Surface Layers
Joseph A. Barchas, Kun Hu, Matthew G. Baring
The study of polarized radiation transfer in the highly-magnetized surface locales of neutron stars is of great interest to the understanding of accreting X-ray pulsars, rotation-p…
