Synchrotron Polarization

Synchrotron Polarization is a radiative process in which relativistic electrons gyrating around magnetic field lines emit linearly polarized radiation due to the anisotropic distribution of their trajectories, thereby serving as a key observational tracer of magnetic field orientation and strength in astrophysical plasmas.
