Notes. The columns give the filter, the central wavelength λc, the effective wavelength λeff, the effective albedo Ag,eff for the photons registered in the broad-band filters, and the Toon et al. (1992) radius RT for λeff. ⟨ Q/I ⟩ m, ⟨ U/I ⟩ m, ⟨ Qr/I ⟩ m, and ⟨ Ur/I ⟩ m are the measured disk-integrated polarization parameters. The parameter CPSF describes the degradation of the polarization measurement due to the PSF smearing effect (Sect. 6.4), and the corrected radial polarization value is given by ⟨ Qr/I ⟩ = ⟨ Qr/I ⟩ m/CPSF. is the measured maximum radial polarization, whereas (Qr/I)max is the modeled value for infinite resolution. The statistical 1σ error for the disk-integrated polarization is estimated to be Δp ≤ ± 0.1% and ΔCPSF = ± 0.01. In addition, a systematic uncertainty of (Δp)syst. ≈ ± 0.2% is estimated.
