Description
Strongly magnetized high energy astrophysical objects, including a variety
of pulsars and magnetars, are expected to produce high degree of X-ray
polarization, which can be used to diagnose the magnetic field, emission
mechanism, and geometry of the objects, and also test the fundamental
physics. In this talk, I will present possible science cases that the
enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission can do with these
systems.
