In this work, we present simulations of the expected X-ray polarized signal, including the coronal emission for different geometries of the corona itself, i.e. a slab above the accretion disc and a spherical shell around the neutron star. The simulations are performed with the fully relativistic Monte Carlo code MONK capable of computing the X-ray polarization degree and angle for various physical input parameters of the neutron star, disc, and corona. Different coronal geometries result in significantly different X-ray polarization properties, which can therefore be used to constrain the geometry of the systems.STAMPAenArticle10.1093/mnras/stac15232-s2.0-85133692086https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/514/2/2561/6598828http://arxiv.org/abs/2206.00749v12022MNRAS.514.2561GFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICA
