dc.descriptionWe have recently shown that in a highly magnetized neutron star atmospheric plasma, vacuum polarization can induce resonant conversion of photon polarization modes via a mechanism analogous to MSW neutrino oscillation. In a recent paper Ozel has dismissed this mode conversion effect as ``mistakes''. Here we explain why our arguments/calculations of this effect are correct.
