Polarization signatures of strong gravity by reflection from accretion discs
Original language description
The effects of strong gravity on the polarization of the Compton re?ection from an X- ray illuminated accretion disc are studied. The gravitational ?eld of a rotating black hole in?uences Stokes parameters of the radiation along the propagation to a distant observer. Assuming powerlaw illumination of the disc by corona, the degree of polarization is examined as a function of the black hole spin, observer?s inclination angle and height of the primary source.
