Fig. 5

Time evolution of the X-ray continuum flux, polarization degree, and polarization position angle in the 1−5 keV band, resulting from the shading of different parts of a non-uniformly polarized emitting disk. The cloud is slightly smaller than the continuum source and has a hydrogen column density of 1024 cm-2. Three different emission ratios are considered with 90% (turquoise), 70% (blue), or 50% (black) of the total luminosity being emitted by the blue part of the reprocessing disk.
