Accretion Disk Polarization

Accretion Disk Polarization is a theoretical model in X-ray polarimetry that characterizes the linear polarization of X-ray emission arising from relativistic accretion disks around compact objects due to the preferential scattering of photons in strong gravitational and magnetic fields.
