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,…
To obtain spatial information about an arbitrary object in x-ray structure analysis, the standard method is to measure the intensity in the far field, i.e., the first-order photon correlation function of the coherently scattered x-ray…
