XIPE: the X-ray Imaging Polarimetry Explorer
Paolo Soffitta, Xavier Barcons, Ronaldo Bellazzini +96
X-ray polarimetry, sometimes alone, and sometimes coupled to spectral and temporal variability measurements and to imaging, allows a wealth of physical phenomena in astrophysics to…
Time Dependent Radiative Transfer for Multi-Level Atoms using Accelerated Lambda Iteration
Matthew van Adelsberg, Rosalba Perna
We present a general formalism for computing self-consistent, numerical solutions to the time-dependent radiative transfer equation in low velocity, multi-level ions undergoing rad…
Radiative properties of magnetic neutron stars with metallic surfaces and thin atmospheres
A. Y. Potekhin, V. F. Suleimanov, M. van Adelsberg +1
The goal of this work is to develop a simple analytic description of the emission properties (spectrum and polarization) of the condensed, strongly magnetized surface of neutron st…
Signatures of photon-axion conversion in the thermal spectra and polarization of neutron stars
Rosalba Perna, Wynn C. G. Ho, Licia Verde +2
Conversion of photons into axions under the presence of a strong magnetic field can dim the radiation from magnetized astrophysical objects. Here we perform a detailed calculation…
Absorption Features in Spectra of Magnetized Neutron Stars
V. Suleimanov, V. Hambaryan, A. Y. Potekhin +4
The X-ray spectra of some magnetized isolated neutron stars (NSs) show absorption features with equivalent widths (EWs) of 50 - 200 eV, whose nature is not yet well known. To expla…
Radiative properties of highly magnetized isolated neutron star surfaces and approximate treatment of absorption features in their spectra
V. Suleimanov, V. V. Hambaryan, A. Y. Potekhin +3
In the X-ray spectra of most X-ray dim isolated neutron stars (XDINSs) absorption features with equivalent widths (EWs) of 50 -- 200 eV are observed. We theoretically investigate d…
