Image Details
Caption: Fig. 1.
Total intensity image of Sgr A* with polarization contours overlaid from IF 1 at 43 GHz. The scatter in the polarization vectors over the compact source and the strength of the off‐source polarization indicate that the polarization peak is an upper limit. The total intensity contours are −1%, 1%, 3%, 10%, 30%, and 90% of the peak intensity. A polarization vector 1﹩\arcsec﹩ long represents a polarized intensity of 33.3mJy beam−1. The synthesized beam is shown in the lower left corner.
