Abstract

The eikonal equation is constructed for a weak electromagnetic wave that propagates by the laws of parameterized post-Maxwellian electrodynamics of vacuum in the magnetic dipole and gravitational fields of pulsars and magnetars. An approximate solution has been found for the equation for the rays, along which two mutually perpendicular normal modes of electromagnetic wave are propagating. The ray bending angles and time delay of the first normal mode relatively the second normal mode of the electromagnetic waves polarization states are determined as resultant from the nonlinear effect of the gravitational and magnetic dipole fields of neutron stars on the rays.
