A comparison of the polarization in the dip and off-dip states across different energy bands, employing all IXPE datasets in which dips are detected, with a 68% CL. The polarization angles of dip and off-dip across different energies align closely with the radio jet direction, which has a position angle of −27° ± 8° (J. C. A. Miller-Jones et al. 2021).
