As is known, resonant scattering can distort the surface-brightness profiles of clusters of galaxies in X-ray lines. We demonstrate that the scattered line emission should be polarized and possibly detectable with near-future X-ray…

We analyse the circular polarisation data accumulated in the first 7 years of the POLAMI project introduced in an accompanying paper (Agudo et al.). In the 3mm wavelength band, we acquired more than 2600 observations, and all but one of our…

We predict high-order harmonics in which the polarization within the spectral bandwidth of each harmonic varies continuously and significantly. For example, the interaction of counter-rotating circularly-polarized bichromatic drivers having…
