Scientific paper
A new technique for studying the flow of radiation through one-dimensional slabs of the strongly magnetized thermal plasma in the polar regions of accreting, magnetized neutron stars is described. The method allows rapid computation of one-dimensional model atmosphere with arbitrary orientation of the magnetic field with respect to the slab, as well as arbitrary inhomogeneity. Improvements in computational speed by factors up to 100,000 are obtained compared with previously published algorithms. The method is demonstrated using several models of emission from one-dimensional slabs representing parts of the photosphere of an X-ray star.
