Erratum for: A&A, 616, A35 (2022), https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201731551

A computational error has been found in the formula used to convert polarization angle values from equatorial to Galactic coordinates as reported in Table 2 of our original article. This concerns only ψ_gal values in parenthesis, regarding the NIKA camera observations. An updated version of Table 2 is given in Table 1 with new values having been recomputed. The bottom panel of Fig. 6 of the original article has been updated accordingly (see Fig. 1). This correction, however, does not significantly affect the result of the weighted-average polarization angle, which is now equal to −87.8° instead of −87.7°, which is consistent within the uncertainty previously given. It is important to notice that the uncertainties associated with the polarization angle values are not affected by the coordinate change correction.

All Figures

Fig. 1

Top: polarization degree as a function of frequency as measured by Planck (black dots), WMAP (blue triangles), XPOL (yellow diamond), POLKA (green cross), and NIKA (red crosses). The NIKA and POLKA values have been estimated by aperture photometry considering the source extension up to 9′. Planck and WMAP values are shown at their native resolution. XPOL, NIKA, and POLKA values have been integrated over the source. The solid line represents the weighted-average degree for all experiments but POLKA. Dashed lines represent 1σ uncertainties. Bottom: polarization angles in Galactic coordinates for the same five experiments. The solid line represents the weighted-average polarization angle computed using all the values.
