Description
Monk (Zhang et al. 2019) is a general relativistic radiative transfer code that is capable of performing polarized radiative transfer. With Monk we systemically calculated the energy spectra and polarization of the X-ray radiation from AGNs and BHXRBs in the hard state. We also couple Monk and Dyplo (Marcel et al. 2018) to evaluate the polarization of BHXRBs in the hard state where we solve the structure of the disc and the inner hot flow instead of taking phenomenological assumptions. In this talk, we will give an short introduction to Monk, and then present the results.
