Polarization masks, in Galactic coordinates, are shown for the P02, P04, P06, and P10 cut levels. The cross‐hatched region along the Galactic plane, common to all polarization masks, shows the dust intensity cut. The P06 cut is outlined by the black curve. The masked sources are in violet. The north ecliptic pole (NEP), south ecliptic pole (SEP), and Galactic center (GC) are indicated.
