Left: Observed K‐band polarization, P. The color scale ranges from 0 to 0.1 mK. Right: Model prediction of the K‐band polarization based on the Haslam intensity map. The model has one effective free parameter, the ratio of the homogeneous field strength to the total field strength as shown in eq. (13). This plot shows the results for ﹩\beta _{s}=-2.7﹩ and ﹩q=0.7﹩.
