Turbulent Vortex with Moderate Dust Settling Probed by Scattering-induced Polarization in the IRS 48 System

We investigate the crescent-shaped dust trap in the transition disk Oph IRS 48 using well-resolved (sub)millimeter polarimetric observations at ALMA Band 7 (870 μ m). The dust polarization map reveals patterns consistent with dust-scattering-induced polarization. There is a relative displacement bet...
