Ray-tracing and polarized radiative transfer in General Relativity
Pauli Pihajoki, Antti Rantala, Peter H. Johansson
We discuss the problem of polarized radiative transfer in general relativity. We present a set of equations suitable for solving the problem numerically for the case of an arbitrar…
The direct cooling tail method for X-ray burst analysis to constrain neutron star masses and radii
Valery F. Suleimanov, Juri Poutanen, Joonas Nättilä +3
Determining neutron star (NS) radii and masses can help to understand the properties of matter at supra-nuclear densities. Thermal emission during thermonuclear X-ray bursts from N…
Detection of burning ashes from thermonuclear X-ray bursts
J. J. E. Kajava, J. Nättilä, J. Poutanen +3
When neutron stars (NS) accrete gas from low-mass binary companions, explosive nuclear burning reactions in the NS envelope fuse hydrogen and helium into heavier elements. The resu…
