Magnetospheric birefringence breaks the rotating-vector model and depolarises X-ray pulsars

Alexander A. Mushtukov, Sergey S. Tsygankov, Silvia Zane +4

Accreting X-ray pulsars have long been expected to show large linear polarisation below the cyclotron resonance. In the standard picture, this follows from two facts: radiative opa…
