Top: Map of Tau A in Galactic coordinates at 41 GHz in Stokes I, Q, U, and P, smoothed to 1°. Since Tau A is polarized parallel to the Galactic plane, it is negative in Q and small in U. Bottom: Map of Centaurus A in Stokes I, Q, U, and P. For both sets of plots, Stokes I is scaled logarithmically and all the others are scaled linearly. The scaling in mK is indicated above the gray‐scale wedge for each panel. A map of the noise bias has been subtracted from the P images.
