Extended Data Table 4 The polarization degree and angle in the five regions shown in Extended Data Fig. 5

From: Vela pulsar wind nebula X-rays are polarized to near the synchrotron limit

  1. Polarization degree and polarization angle in C, F, R, L, and B regions measured using ixpeobssim with and without background subtraction. Background regions are the same as shown in Extended Data Fig. 2. Uncertainties on the polarization degree and angle are calculated for a 68.3% confidence level, assuming that they are independent.
  2. S Values are obtained with background subtraction.
  3. S+B Values are obtained without background subtraction.
