Median polarimetric behavior over 50θ ≤ 60 as a function of RA on a log-scaled axis for (left) Giordano Bruno and (right) Eimmart A. The top row shows the values for SC and OC outside of three crater radii from the respective crater and inside of three crater radii, while the bottom row shows the behavior for the three m-χ components. Each polarimetric component is discerned by color following the legend in the figure. The median behavior (solid lines) is shown along with the interquartile range (dashed lines). Note that although Eimmart A is within the maria, the median curves were not additionally binned by TiO2 due to limitations in the number of data points.
