IXPE data on magnetar 1E 1547.0-5408 show high linear polarization from a small hot spot whose phase-dependent angle is fit by a rotating vector model, with a marginal energy-dependent dip in polarization degree that may indicate vacuum resonance but does not constitute compelling evidence for biref

In a constant self-dual background (E=B), the scalar QED propagators, partition function, and beta function are computed exactly in closed form using the Landau level basis.
NLED alters photon propagation near magnetars, producing ~10% errors in inferred radii via ray-tracing and a minimal ~350 ns travel-time delay.
