Circular dichroism, magnetic knots and the spectropolarimetry of the Cosmic Microwave Background

When the last electron-photon scattering takes place in a magnetized environment, the degree of circular polarization of the outgoing radiation depends upon the magnetic field strength. After deriving the scattering matrix of the process, the generalized radiative transfer equations are deduced in t...
