Recent experimental results from RHIC and LHC on hard photon emission rates in heavy-ion collisions indicate a large azimuthal asymmetry of photon emission rate parameterized by the elliptic flow v_2. Motivated by a recent proposal that the early magnetic field created by two colliding heavy-ions may be responsible for this large azimuthal asymmetry of photon emission rate, we compute the azimuthal dependence of the photon emission rate from a strongly coupled finite temperature plasma with magnetic field in the framework of gauge/gravity correspondence. We also propose and compute a new observable, "in/out-plane polarization asymmetry", constructed from the polarization dependence of the photon emission rates. We observe that both the azimuthal and polarization asymmetry of photon emissions are strongly affected by the triangle anomaly (chiral anomaly) for low frequency regime below 1 GeV.

Rotating synchrotron radiation: Photon emission from magnetized and rotating quark-gluon plasma
Rotation enhances synchrotron photon emission from negatively charged quarks in a magnetized QGP, producing a low-transverse-momentum v2 that can reduce the direct photon puzzle tension.

Polarized electromagnetic radiation by chiral media with time-dependent chiral chemical potential
A time-dependent chiral chemical potential produces photon radiation that is strongly circularly polarized, with the polarization handedness fixed by the sign of the potential.
