Understanding Active Galactic Nuclei using near-infrared high angular
  resolution polarimetry II: Preliminary results
  In this second research note of a series of two, we present the first
near-infrared results we obtained when modeling Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN).
Our first proceedings showed the comparison between the MontAGN and STOKES
Monte Carlo codes. Now we use our radiative transfer codes to simulate the
polarization maps of a prototypical, NGC 1068-like, type-2 radio-quiet AGN. We
produced high angular resolution infrared (1 micron) polarization images to be
compared with recent observations in this wavelength range. Our preliminary
results already show a good agreement between the models and observations but
cannot account for the peculiar linear polarization angle of the torus such as
observed. Gratadour et al. 2015 found a polarization position angle being
perpendicular to the bipolar outflows axis. Further work is needed to improve
the models by adding physical phenomena such as dichroism and clumpiness.
