Scientific paper
The periodic polarization properties of orbiting flares ('hot spots') on an accretion disk surrounding a Schwarzschild black hole are examined in detail. The circumstances under which special and general relativistic effects are expected to be important are first examined. Detailed results are then presented for the two cases where the polarization is due to electron scattering and synchrotron radiation, respectively, with some remarks concerning applicability to other radiation mechanisms. Possible astrophysical implications are discussed in the context of observations of X-ray sources and extragalactic variable radio sources.
