Effect of Vacuum Polarization in a Strong Magnetic Field and Spectral Features of X-Ray Source Emission
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
In strong magnetic fields of neutron stars electron-positron vacuum behaves as an anisotropic medium. Vacuum influences the generation and propagation of electromagnetic radiation in plasma and changes the spectrum of radiation. As a result the change of cyclotron lines shape and appearance of specific “vacuum lines” should be observed in X-ray spectra of accreting neutron stars.
