Caption: Fig. 5.

Lambert azimuthal equal area projection of the Galactic poles (left: north) showing the K‐band polarization. The circumference of each map is at zero Galactic latitude. The convention in this plot is to use bars to indicate the polarization direction. It is clear that the polarization extends to high Galactic latitudes. A map of the noise bias is subtracted from this image.
