The POLNA project Linear polarization of electromagnetic radiation is caused by scattering processes in the atmospheres of stars and interstellar space. Such polarization has a noticeable effect on the structure of stars' atmospheres and their spectra observed in natural light. The POLNA project aims to theoretically study the linear polarization of relativistic space objects in the X-ray range. This project deals with the polarization caused by Compton scattering of photons on free electrons in a hot gas with temperatures T = 108-109K. The influence of magnetic fields is not considered here.
The scientific objectives of the POLNA project are:
