Polarized synchrotron emission is a fundamental process in high-energy astrophysics, particularly in the environments around black holes and pulsars. Accurate modeling of this emission requires precise computation of the emission, absorption, rotation, and conversion coefficients, which are critical for radiative transfer simulations. Traditionally, these coefficients are derived using fit functions based on precomputed ground truth values. However, these fit functions often lack accuracy, particularly in specific plasma conditions not well represented in the datasets used to generate them. In this work, we introduce ${\tt MLody}$, a deep neural network designed to compute polarized synchrotron coefficients with high accuracy across a wide range of plasma parameters. We demonstrate ${\tt MLody}$'s capabilities by integrating it with a radiative transfer code to generate synthetic polarized synchrotron images for an accreting black hole simulation. Our results reveal significant differences, up to a factor of two, in both linear and circular polarization compared to traditional methods. These differences could have important implications for parameter estimation in Event Horizon Telescope observations, suggesting that ${\tt MLody}$ could enhance the accuracy of future astrophysical analyses.

通过比较当代银河磁场模型与S-PASS和C-BASS巡天的偏振同步辐射观测,评估模型在重现偏振幅度和偏振角方面的能力,发现大多数模型在大尺度偏振角上表现良好,但无法再现偏振强度的形态,并指出局部结构(如北银极 Spur/Loop I 和 Fan 区域)对微波偏振同步辐射建模至关重要。
