X-ray Polarization in Relativistic Jets
Aimee L. McNamara, Zdenka Kuncic, Kinwah Wu
We investigate the polarization properties of Comptonized X-rays from relativistic jets in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) using Monte Carlo simulations. We consider three scenarios c…

X-ray Polarization Signatures of Compton Scattering in Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables
Aimee McNamara, Zdenka Kuncic, Kinwah Wu
Compton scattering within the accretion column of magnetic cataclysmic variables (mCVs) can induce a net polarization in the X-ray emission. We investigate this process using Monte…
