Dust polarization radiative transfer results of the fiducial case (amax = 10 µm, fhigh−j = 1, and L★ = 20 L⊙). The plots are from one run of POLARIS, where our simulation has been synthetically observed in dust polarization at 0.87 mm. Top left panel: the color scale and black contours represent the dust continuum total intensity (Stokes I). The white arrows represent the velocity field in a slice of the simulation centered on the sink particle. Top right panel: the color scale represents the polarized intensity (). The yellow streamlines trace the orientation of the density-weighted average magnetic field along the line of sight. The line segments represent the polarization position angle orientations. Bottom left panel: the color scale represents the fractional polarization, Ƥfrac. Bottom right panel: the color scale is the optical depth computed during the ray-tracing of the radiative transfer. In the bottom panels, the white contours trace the total intensity.
