High-Energy Photon Opacity in the Twisted Magnetospheres of Magnetars
Kun Hu, Matthew G. Baring, Alice K. Harding +1
Magnetars are neutron stars characterized by strong surface magnetic fields generally exceeding the quantum critical value of 44.1 TeraGauss. High-energy photons propagating in the…
Polarized Radiation Signals from Highly Magnetized Neutron Star Surfaces
Kun Hu, Matthew G. Baring, Joseph A. Barchas +1
The surfaces of neutron stars are likely sources of strongly polarized soft X rays due to the presence of strong magnetic fields. Scattering transport in the surface layers is crit…
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…
