Total X-ray brightness and polarization (arrows) maps for the photon distribution created by the near isotropic Δν = 4.0 electron distribution for a 5′′ primary source. The resulting total sources sit at four disk locations of X = 213.6′′,542.9′′,750.1′′,936.6′′ at Y = 0′′ (corresponding to μ ~ 0.97,0.82,0.62,0.22). The green, blue and orange ellipses and asterisks give the FWHM and centroid positions of the total, albedo and primary sources respectively. The primary component is dominant at all disk locations and hence the albedo polarization pattern at small radii (over the extent of the 5′′ primary source) is obscured slightly by the flat, constant polarization of the primary source.
