The coming of age of X-ray polarimetry
Scientific-Disciplinary Group
02/PHYS-05 - Astrophysics And Cosmology, Earth- Space- And Climate Physics
Description
This project aims at investigating the spectral, polarimetric and timing properties of the X-ray radiation emitted by isolated, highly-magnetized neutron stars (XDINSs and magnetars). Atmospheric emission will be complemented by detailed modelling of other competing processes, including those induced by magnetic condensation, in the study of thermal radiation coming from the cooling star surface. In addition, an investigation into the magnetospheric processes responsible for the origin of hard X-ray tails in magnetar spectra will be conducted.
