Scientific paper

A qualitative consideration of polarization effects in a thermal plasma, principal formulas involved, and astrophysical applications of these formulas are dealt with. Since the opacity coefficients of a magnetoactive thermal plasma are different for different types of waves, this difference results in noticeable polarization effects in plasma radiation. Particular polarization features are defined for optical and X-radiation affected by plasma and magnetic field conditions characteristic of high-temperature stellar atmospheres and of pulsars.
