  text: We report on IXPE, NICER, and XMM–Newton observations of the magnetar 1E 2259+586.
    We find that the source is significantly polarized at about or above 20  per cent
    for all phases except for the secondary peak where it is more weakly polarized.
    The polarization degree is strongest during the primary minimum which is also
    the phase where an absorption feature has been identified previously. The polarization
    angle of the photons are consistent with a rotating vector model with a mode switch
    between the primary minimum and the rest of the rotation of the neutron star.
    We propose a scenario in which the emission at the source is weakly polarized
    (as in a condensed surface) and, as the radiation passes through a plasma arch,
    resonant cyclotron scattering off of protons produces the observed polarized radiation.
    This confirms the magnetar nature of the source with a surface field greater than
    about 1015 G.
