Ray-tracing and polarized radiative transfer in General Relativity (1612.02828v1)

Published 8 Dec 2016 in astro-ph.IM, astro-ph.HE, and gr-qc

Abstract: We discuss the problem of polarized radiative transfer in general relativity. We present a set of equations suitable for solving the problem numerically for the case of an arbitrary space-time metric, and show numerical solutions to example problems. The solutions are computed with a new ray-tracing code, Arcmancer, developed by the authors.
