Polarimetric Signatures of Bulk Comptonization from within the Plunging Region of Accreting Black Holes

Inverse Compton scattering by the thermal motions of electrons is believed to produce polarized hard X-rays in active galactic nuclei and black hole binaries. Meanwhile, plasma within the plunging region of the black hole free-falls into the event horizon with a bulk relativistic speed, which could...
