Inelastic scattering effects on polarization predictions for cold and warm atmospheres in the X-rays

J. Podgorný, L. Marra, M. Dovčiak +8

X-ray polarization models of accreting compact objects often assume the so-called Chandrasekhar-Sobolev polarization prescription for elastic Thomson scattering in electron-scatter…

X-ray polarization of reflected thermal emission

J. Podgorný, M. Dovčiak, R. Goosmann +5

We compute rest-frame reflection spectra and the corresponding energy-dependent linear polarization degree and angle for (un)polarized single-temperature blackbody spectra impingin…

Polarization properties of thermal accretion disk emission. I. Direct radiation

L. Marra, J. Podgorný, R. Taverna +4

The X-ray polarimetric observing window re-opening is shedding new light on our current understanding of compact accreting sources. This is true, in particular, for stellar-mass bl…

Spectral and polarization properties of reflected X-ray emission from black-hole accretion discs for a distant observer: the lamp-post model

Jakub Podgorný, Michal Dovčiak, René Goosmann +4

Rebirth of X-ray polarimetric instruments will have a significant impact on our knowledge of compact accreting sources. The properties of inner-accreting regions of active galactic…

Spectral and polarization properties of reflected X-ray emission from black hole accretion discs

Jakub Podgorný, Michal Dovčiak, Frédéric Marin +2

X-ray polarimetric missions planned for this decade will significantly enhance our knowledge of compact accreting sources. Observations of the X-ray polarization signal from active…

Spectropolarimetry of NGC3783 and Mrk509: Evidence for powerful nuclear winds in Seyfert 1 Galaxies

P. Lira, M. Kishimoto, R. W. Goosmann +6

We present results from high signal-to-noise optical spectropolarimetric observations of the Seyfert 1 galaxies NGC783 and Mrk509 in the 3500-7000 A range. We find complex structur…
