Caption: Figure 5.

Top: difference between the position angles of the dust polarization and the disk’s minor axis angle for three cuts parallel to the major axis (PA = 113°)---one along the major axis itself (black line), a cut 40 mas (68 au) north of the major axis (in the far side of the disk, green line), and a cut 40 mas south of the major axis (in the near side of the disk, red line). Positive values of the position offset indicates position west of the disk intensity peak. Bottom: similar but from the optically thick disk model by Yang et al. (2017).
