Fig. 4.

Left panels: modeled polarization plane position angle φ when the system is rotating counterclockwise (top) or when rotating clockwise (bottom). Right panels: total unpolarized flux (TF, top), polarized flux (PF, middle), degree of polarization (PO, bottom). The SMBH has a mass of 106 M ⊙. We plot the results in solid lines for three viewing inclinations: i = 25.01°, 32.46°, and 38.62°, while dotted lines represent the results for the opposite direction of rotation. We note the symmetry of φ with respect to the continuum level, due to the opposite direction of rotation. An opposite direction of rotation does not affect TF, PF, and PO. Total and polarized fluxes are given in arbitrary units.
