The effect of electromagnetic radiation birefringence in the field of a relativistically rotating pulsar or magnetar within the framework of vacuum nonlinear electrodynamic

Abstract

Within the framework of the parameterized post-Maxwellian vacuum electrodynamics, the propagation of an X-ray or gamma-ray pulse through the electromagnetic field of a relativistically rotating pulsar is studied. Expressions are obtained for the trajectory of this pulse and the law The effect of electromagnetic radiation birefringence in the field of a relativistically rotating pulsar or magnetar within the framework of vacuum nonlinear electrodynamicsof its motion from the point ${\mathbf{r}}_s=\{x_s,y_s,z_s\},$ where an X-ray or gamma-ray burst occurs at time $t=t_s$ to the point ${\mathbf{r}}_d=\{x_s,y_s,z_d\},$ where the detector of this radiation is located. In the case when the post-Maxwellian parameters of the theory differ, ${\eta }_1\ne {\eta }_2$, the time of nonlinear electrodynamic delay of electromagnetic signals transported by different normal modes is calculated. The change in the polarization state of the X-ray or gamma-ray pulse after passing through the electromagnetic field of the relativistically rotating pulsar is analyzed.
