Abstract

The authors present exact numerical computations leading to a general theoretical formalism of Compton and inverse Compton scattering in several key astrophysical processes, such as X- \ensuremath{\gamma}-ray polarization and astrophysical jets. Their assumption of (1) anisotropic photons and electrons, and (2) no ultrarelativistic approximations, demonstrates major deviations in certain regimes compared to previous calculations.
