LIGHT-BENDING SCENARIO FOR ACCRETING BLACK HOLES IN X-RAY POLARIMETRY
LIGHT-BENDING SCENARIO FOR ACCRETING BLACK HOLES IN X-RAY POLARIMETRY
We discuss a model of an X-ray illuminating source above an accretion disk of a rotating black hole. Within the so-called lamp-post scheme we compute the expected (observed) polarization properties of the radiation reaching an observer. We explore the dependences on model parameters, employing Monte Carlo radiation transfer computations of …
