Notes. (a) Region name. The MC are cross identified with the targets listed in Marin et al. (2015). (b) Geometrical dimensions of the region over which each spectral components is simulated, as described in Sect. 2. (c) Projected distance from Sgr A*. Negative values: MC East of the GC. (d)Line-of-sight distance dlos from Marin et al. (2015). Negative values: MC in front of the Galactic plane. (e) Range of other line-of-sight distances dlos from Capelli et al. (2012). Because these ranges of distance include dlos = 0, they prescribe upper limits for the maximum theoretical polarization degree of the clouds. (f) Polarization degree P from Marin et al. (2015). (g) Range of polarization degree correspondent to 
, obtained from Eqs. (1) and (2). (h)Flux contribution of each spectral component in the given region. Fluxes are taken from the spectral fits of Di Gesu et al. (2020) and Sect. 2.
Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.
Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
