Abstract

Studying physical processes occurring above the magnetic poles of strongly magnetized, accreting neutron stars provides us with a laboratory for studying high temperature plasmas exposed to extreme conditions. This white paper discusses the current theoretical and observational challenges, and the importance of addressing these challenges.
