Normalized polarization profiles of the absorptive (orange dashed line), emissive (red dotted–dashed line) and dust scattering (blue dotted line) components used to fit the observed Stokes qu of the nuclear polarization of Cygnus A in Figure 2. Fractional contribution (fourth panel) of the polarization mechanisms on our observations.
