Notes. (a) Observed polarization degree with a 2 Ms-long observation. The uncertainties on the observed polarization degree include the effect of the subtraction of the instrumental background.(b)Dilution factor obtained from the dilution map described in Sect. 4.1. (c) Polarization degree recovered through the dilution method. (d)Polarization degree recovered through the subtraction method. (e)Absolute value of the line-of-sight distance derived from the polarization degree corrected with the dilution method. (f) Absolute value of the line-of-sight distance derived from the polarization degree corrected with the subtraction method.
