Polarization degree (left) and intensity map for an inclined disk with an inclination of i = 50° (right) composed of a mixture of astronomical silicate and graphite of sizes between 10 nm and 1 μm at a wavelength of λ = 1.25 μm (J band). The dotted, vertical lines in the left panel represent the predominant scattering angles at the near- and far-side of the disk, i.e. θ = 90 ° ±i. The length of the polarization vectors are scaled to the maximum polarization degree present in the figure.
