Modeled images of the polarized flux, PF/F_∗, for a clumpy, compact dusty torus of half-opening angle 45° measured relative to the axis of symmetry; PF/F_∗ is color-coded and integrated over 2000 to 8000 Å. γ and P are represented by black vectors (a vertical vector indicates a polarization of γ = 90°, and a horizontal vector stands for an angle of γ = 0°). The length of the vector is proportional to P. Top: image at i ∽ 18° (face-on view); middle: i ∽ 45°; bottom: i ∽ 81° (edge-on view).
