SPHERE observations of HD 141569A in polarized intensity (2017) and total intensity (2015) displayed in contrast units. Panels a, b, and c present the linear polarization intensity Q_ϕ and U_ϕ images. Panel d shows the total intensity image in the same region as in (b). The image (a) presents the wide angle field of view (5″ × 5″) in polarimetry, while the images (b), (c) and (d) are at the same spatial scale and focused on the innermost region (2″ × 2″) of the system. All the labels and arrows in (b) and (d) are at the same position.
