Total flux Fλ (erg s−1 cm−2Å−1, color-coded) of NGC 1068, with the polarization information superimposed to the image using white vectors. The linear polarization degree is proportional to the vector length while the polarization position angle is indicated by the orientation of the vector (a vertical vector indicating a polarization angle of 0°). North is up, east is left. We show the full FoV so that no potential information is lost. A spatial bin corresponds to 0.1″. The contours are displayed from 1% to 99% every 10% of the maximum value of 4.863 × 10−14 erg s−1 cm−2 Å−1. The smoothness of the contours is tightly linked to the amount of smoothing done in the reduction process.
