EXPLORING INWARD-DIRECTED PHOTON EMISSION USING RADIO POLARIZATION DATA OF J1057-5226

We apply a bidirectional model with both outward-directed photons and inward-directed photons to understand the complex radio polarization data of J1057-5226 (B1055-52). J1057-5226 radio polarization data matches well to this model when one of the components of the polarization sweep is associated with inward-directed photon emission. Additionally, we discuss previous studies of J1057-5226 in relation to our current study and past applications of models with inward-directed photons. We apply γ-ray models restricted by best fit parameters from the radio modeling. Although possible solutions exist, results do suggest we have not fully identified the location of the emission within the magnetosphere with the simplest γ-ray modeling assumptions.
