Polarized general-relativistic radiative transfer in the vicinity of black holes and other compact objects has become a crucial tool for probing the properties of relativistic astrophysics plasmas. Instruments like GRAVITY, the Event…
Accretion onto compact objects plays a central role in high energy astrophysics. In these environments, both general relativistic and plasma effects may have significant impacts upon the spectral and polarimetric properties of the accretion…
