Polarimetric Signatures of Bulk Comptonization from within the Plunging Region of Accreting Black Holes
Bulk Comptonization inside the plunging region can imprint up to about 7 to 8 percent unresolved (and about 50 percent resolved) linear X-ray polarization for near edge-on black holes, exceeding thermal disk scattering for rapidly spinning holes.
