Scientific paper

The effects of strong gravity on the polarization of the Compton reflection from an X-ray illuminated accretion disc are studied. The gravitational field of a rotating black hole influences Stokes parameters of the radiation along the propagation to a distant observer. Assuming the lamp-post model, the degree and the angle of polarization are examined as functions of the energy, observer's inclination angle, height of the primary source and inner radius of the disc emitting region
