"This is a short tutorial for modeling polarized X-ray flux from a rapidly rotating neutron star. Detailed discussions on the formation of polarization can be found in [Loktev et al. (2020)](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020A%26A...643A..84L/abstract)\n",

"For MSPs, polarization arises from Thomson scattering or comptonization by an accretion shock formed above the hot region. In the case of Thomson scattering, the degree of polarization depends on the angle of propagation respect to the local surface normal. The polarization angle for the emission site is governed by the rotating vector model, which incorporates the oblate shape of the NS and relativistic effects due to the rapid rotation. This simple case is one the implemented in this tutorial. For the case of comptonized atmosphere, details can be found in [Bobrikova et al. (2023)](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2023A%26A...678A..99B/abstract)\n",

"It is important to note that although the magnetic field of the MSP does not influence radiative transfer within the atmospheric slab (i.e., the atmosphere is treated as non-magnetic), it does play a crucial role in shaping and forming the hot spots (HSs)."
