NED object is 3C 031; Reference is 1996ASPC..100..241L
Figure 2. The inner jets of 3C31 at 8.4 GHz (resolution 0.7" FWHM). The
lowest contour level is 35 {mu} Jy per beam area. Vector lengths are
proportional to the degree of polarization, and 1" corresponds to 50%. The
vector directions are those of the polarization E-vector. Faraday rotation is
negligible at this frequency, and the apparent magnetic field is accurately
orthogonal to the vectors.
