Analytical techniques for polarimetric imaging of accretion flows in the Schwarzschild metric
Emission from an accretion disk around compact objects, such as neutron stars and black holes, is expected to be significantly polarized. The polarization can be used to put constraints on the geometrical and physical parameters of the compact sources their radii, masses, and spins as well as to det...
