Polarization of Compton X-rays from Jets in AGN
Aimee McNamara, Zdenka Kuncic, Kinwah Wu
We investigate the polarization of Compton scattered X-rays from relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei using Monte Carlo simulations. We consider three scenarios: scattering…

X-ray polarization from accreting white dwarfs and associated systems
Kinwah Wu, Aimee McNamara, Zdenka Kuncic
We present our results of Monte-Carlo simulations of polarized Compton X-rays from magnetic cataclysmic variables, with realistic density, temperature and velocity structures in th…

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…
