Stokes parameter maps of the total I (top-left) and the polarized Q and U (bottom-left and -right, respectively) thermal dust emission at 850 μm observed with the JCMT SCUBA-2/POL-2 toward NGC 6334 as part of the BISTRO survey. Top right hand side panel: map of the (debiased) polarized emission, PI. The half-power-beam-width (HPBW) resolution of these maps is 14′′. For all maps,the plotted emission corresponds to SNR(I) > 25. The contours, which are the same for all plots, correspond to I = 0.4, 1.4, and 8 Jy beam−1
or and 37) × 1022 cm−2. The lowest contour of I = 0.4 Jy beam−1
is equivalent to SNR(I) ~ 300 and SNR(PI) ~ 10. The white crosses on the I
map indicate the seven high-mass star-forming regions numbered from I to V from north to south in addition to I(N) and E in the north of the field. The white circles show the positions and sizes of UCH II and H II regions (see Persi & Tapia 2008,and references therein).
