The source is significantly polarized in the 4-8 keV band, with a degree of 2.2% ± 0.5% (uncertainty at the 68% confidence level). The NuSTAR broad-band spectrum clearly shows an iron line, and is well described by a model including thermal disc emission, a Comptonized component, and reflection. From a spectro-polarimetric fit, we obtain an upper limit to the polarization degree of the disc of 4% (at the 99% confidence level), while the contribution of Comptonized and reflected radiation cannot be conclusively separated. However, the polarization is consistent with resulting from a combination of Comptonization in a boundary or spreading layer, plus reflection off the disc, which significantly contributes in any realistic scenario.STAMPAenArticle10.1051/0004-6361/2023465412-s2.0-85169416023http://arxiv.org/abs/2306.02740v1https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2023/08/aa46541-23/aa46541-23.html2023A&A...676A..20UFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICA
