| dc.description.abstract | We review the current status of the theory of thermal emission from the surface layers of neutron
stars with strong magnetic fields B ∼ 1010−1015 G, including formation of the spectrum in a partially ionized atmosphere and at a condensed surface. In particular, we describe recent progress in
modeling partially ionized atmospheres of central compact objects in supernova remnants, which
may have moderately strong fields B ∼ 1010 − 1011 G. Special attention is given to polarization
of thermal radiation emitted by a neutron star surface. Finally, we briefly describe applications of
the theory to observations of thermally emitting isolated neutron stars. | en_GB |
