Simplified two arm spiral galaxy model (face-on) for four different viewing angles to explain why the emission is stronger on the approaching side. Trailing spiral arms are assumed. Furthermore, we assume the part of the galaxy that is further away from us (gray shaded) cannot be observed due to Faraday depolarization. The observed extent of the galaxy seen edge-on with the predicted polarized emission is presented in green, which is the observed polarization originating from the spiral arm closer to the observe, with the magnetic field more perpendicular to the line of sight.
