Resumen:
We show that the magnetic field in SN 1006 is radial at the bright lobes but tangential at the SE of the radio shell, where the fractional polarization is highest. This result suggests that the strongest particle injection/acceleration occurs in parallel shocks and that the bright lobes represent polar caps.
