Inclined axisymmetric fireball at higher temperature (﹩{m}_{e}{c}^{2}{{\rm{\Theta }}}_{{\rm{\max }}}=30﹩ keV) with only one mode of splitting. The off-axis viewing angle significantly enhances observed net polarization, especially with VB-on. Here the E2dN/dE approaches 1041 erg s−1, similar to the pulsating tails of intermediate and giant flares.
