Photons preferentially Compton scatter perpendicular to the plane of polarisation. This property can be exploited to design instruments to measure the linear polarisation of hard X-rays ($\sim$10 - 100 keV). Photons may undergo two…
Compton scattering is a key process shaping spectra formation and accretion flow dynamics in accreting strongly magnetized neutron stars. A strong magnetic field affects the scattering cross section and makes it dependent on photon energy,…
Compton scattering is involved in many astrophysical situations. It is well known and has been studied in detail for the past fifty years. Exact formulae for the different cross sections are often complex, and essentially asymptotic…
