ipole โ semi-analytic scheme for relativistic polarized radiative transport
We describe ipole, a new public ray-tracing code for covariant, polarized radiative transport. The code extends the ibothros scheme for covariant, unpolarized transport using two representations of the polarized radiation field: In the coordinate frame, it parallel transports the coherency tensor; in the frame of the plasma it evolves the โฆ
