Left panel: we overlay the CO(2–1) contours of Fig. 11 on the difference between the polarization angle map and a purely centro-symmetric pattern derived from the H-band map of Gratadour et al. (2015) (in color scale in units of degrees) in the central (≃30 pc) region around the AGN of NGC 1068. Right panel: same as left panel but showing the comparison between the CO(3–2) contours and the angle map.
