Correlation between polarization degree and normalized intensity (left) and synthetic intensitymap (right) with overlaid polarization vectors for a Bok globule with M = 4.6 M_⊙ at λ = 214 μm. Perfectly aligned dust grains are assumed. The isocontour lines mark 20, 40, 60 and 80% of the maximum intensity. The image has been convolved with a Gaussian with the SOFIA/HAWC+ band E FWHM of 18.2″.
