Pulsed, Polarized X-ray Emission from Neutron Star Surfaces: the Effects of Vacuum Birefringence in the Magnetosphere

Hoa Dinh Thi, Matthew G. Baring, Kun Hu +4

Intense magnetic fields in the atmospheres of neutron stars render non-trivial angular dependence of intensity and polarization of soft X-ray emission originating from their surfac…

Monte Carlo Simulations of Polarized Radiative Transfer in Neutron Star Atmospheres

Hoa Dinh Thi, Matthew G. Baring, Kun Hu +2

Soft X-ray emission from neutron stars affords powerful diagnostic tools for uncovering their surface and interior properties, as well as their geometric configurations. In the atm…

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…

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…
