Impact of Resonant Compton Scattering on Magnetar X-Ray Polarization with QED Vacuum Resonance
A first-order semi-analytical framework shows resonant Compton scattering can erase or add 90-degree polarization angle swings in magnetar soft X-ray spectra depending on magnetic twist and plasma drift velocity.

Magnetic Moment of Octet Baryons in Isospin Asymmetric Magnetized Strange Matter
Combined CQMF and χCQM models show that Dirac sea effects cause scalar condensates to increase with magnetic field strength, leading to monotonic growth in effective masses of octet baryons in magnetized strange matter.
