An observational method for fast stochastic X-ray polarimetry timing

The upcoming launch of the first space based X-ray polarimeter in ∼40 yr will provide powerful new diagnostic information to study accreting compact objects. In particular, analysis of rapid variability of the polarization degree and angle will provide the opportunity to probe the relativistic motio...
