摘要

In this article we discuss about the evolution of Lorentz factor \(\varGamma \) with respect to the photon path length (z) inside the light cylinder of radius \(R_{ls}\) of the star. The relation between \(\varGamma \) and z is evaluated from a differential equation known by the name as Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac (LAD) equation[2]. The LAD equation takes care of the energy loss (due to radiation reaction) and energy gained (due to Coulomb interaction) by the charge particles during their journey along the B field lines. Our analysis provides a non-trivial parameter space (i.e., the photon energy \(\omega \) , Lorentz factor \(\varGamma (z)\) for a typical neutron star model having \(B\sim 10^{12}\) Gauss, rotational time period \(\sim \) 83 mins.) for carrying out the investigation of polarization of photon in highly magnetized plasma co-rotating with the compact star. We will incorporate the results obtained in this study for the investigation of high energy photon-axion interaction in the magnetosphere of the compact star.
