The High-Energy Polarization-Limiting Radius of Neutron Star Magnetospheres: 1, Slowly Rotating Neutron Stars
In the presence of strong magnetic fields, the vacuum becomes a birefringent medium. We show that this QED effect decouples the polarization modes of photons leaving the NS surface. Both the total intensity and the intensity in each of the two modes is preserved along a ray's path through the n...
