Description: LP images of NRAO 530 produced using DIFMAP, eht-imaging, DMC, and Themis. The total intensity is shown in grayscale with black contours indicating 10%, 25%, 50%, and 75% of the peak LP intensity. Black dotted contours indicate 25%, 50%, and 75% of the peak polarized intensity. The ticks show the orientation of the EVPA, their length indicates linearly polarized intensity magnitude, and their color indicates fractional LP. Cuts were made to omit all regions in the images where Stokes ${ \mathcal I }\,\lt $ 10% of the peak brightness and ${ \mathcal P }\,\lt $ 10% of the peak polarized brightness. The images are all displayed with a field of view of 128 μas, and all images are blurred to an equivalent resolution of 20 μas.
