We measure a highly polarized core of $11\\pm3$% and $9\\pm2$% with a position angle (P.A.) of polarization of $43\\pm8^{\\circ}$ and $39\\pm7^{\\circ}$ at 53 and 89 $\\mu$m, respectively. We find (1) a synchrotron dominated core with a flat spectrum ($+0.21\\pm0.05$) and a turn-over at $543\\pm120$ $\\mu$m, which implies synchrotron emission is insignificant in the infrared (IR), and (2) a $2-500$ $\\mu$m bump peaking at $\\sim40$ $\\mu$m describ"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1806.11114","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
