Caption: Figure 1.

33 GHz images of Sgr A* and MAXI J1744 on 2025 April 6. Left: Stokes I image. Sgr A* is marked with a cyan star, and MAXI J1744 is marked with a white dashed box. The synthesized beam is shown in the lower left corner. Center: linearly polarized flux (PI) image. The markings are as in the left panel. Right: Stokes U vs. Q of MAXI J1744. The colored points correspond to frequency as indicated in the color bar. The counterclockwise orientation of the loop with increasing frequency corresponds to a negative RM.
