Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We consider the propagation of X-ray and gamma ray emissions in strong magnetic and gravitational fields of the pulsar in nonlinear vacuum electrodynamics. We show that the radiation has birefrigence. We have calculated the delay between the two modes, as they propagate from the pulsar to the detecting device. gamma ray astrophysics, pulsar, magnetar, quantum electrodynamics, gravity. We estimate the numerical value of the delay in the case where the magnetic field source is a neutron star with field on a surface B~1016 G (magnetar). Due to the our condition, which must be satisfied for all points of considered beams, our calculation will be applicable only to the beams, for which the pericenter rp exceeds ten radii of the neutron star
