We find that the source is significantly polarized at about or above 20 per cent for all phases except for the secondary peak where it is more weakly polarized. The polarization degree is strongest during the primary minimum which is also the phase where an absorption feature has been identified previously. The polarization angle of the photons are consistent with a rotating vector model with a mode switch between the primary minimum and the rest of the rotation of the neutron star. We propose a scenario in which the emission at the source is weakly polarized (as in a condensed surface) and, as the radiation passes through a plasma arch, resonant cyclotron scattering off of protons produces the observed polarized radiation. This confirms the magnetar nature of the source with a surface field greater than about 1015 G. date: 2024-02-01 date_type: published publisher: Oxford University Press (OUP) official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad3680 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2216455 doi: 10.1093/mnras/stad3680 lyricists_name: Zane, Silvia lyricists_name: Wu, Kinwah lyricists_id: SZANE58 lyricists_id: KWUXX50 actors_name: Kalinowski, Damian actors_id: DKALI47 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society volume: 527 number: 4 pagerange: 12219-12231 issn: 0035-8711 citation: Heyl, J; Taverna, R; Turolla, R; Israel, GL; Ng, M; Kırmızıbayrak, D; González-Caniulef, D; ...
