Detection and Evolution of Linear Polarization of the Galactic Center Transient MAXI J1744-294
First polarization measurements of MAXI J1744-294 reveal a common Faraday screen with RM = -63606 rad m^{-2} matching the Galactic center magnetar, confirming the transient's location in the nuclear star cluster and suggesting an intrinsic RM for Sgr A*.
