1. “Efficient Techniques for Calculating the Energy Widths of Cyclotron Resonance in Strong Magnetic Fields” By Will Vance and Matt Stowe, mentor Peter GonthierAbstract: It is believed that Compton scattering is the reason for the high-energy radiation observed in the X-ray spectra of magnetars. These are neutron stars that have the strongest inferred magnetic fields. …
