Scientific paper

The beam shape of binary X-ray pulsars is partly determined by the transfer of X-rays through accreting magnetized plasma. An extension of the iterative scattering method of radiative transfer is reported. It allows incorporation of gravitational light deflection into a radiative transfer calculation and includes the effects of plasma bulk motion. A model of an accretion column consistent with an exterior Schwarzschild metric for interactive scattering method inputs is outlined.
