Polarization properties of radiation scattered from a frustrum surface
Description
This IDL code computes polarization properties of radiation single-scattered from a frustrum surface. The illuminating source is at the axis of the frustrum. The code plots figures 4B, S8B, 9B from the paper "Cygnus X-3 revealed as a Galactic ultraluminous X-ray source by IXPE " by Veledina et al. to be published in Nature Astronomy. Detailed description of the formalism is available in the Methods section of the paper and https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.01174.
The data on the orbital variation of the Stokes parameters as observed by IXPE are available in the text file orb_stokes_Main.txt
