Scientific paper

Polarization observed in the Kleinmann-Low Nebula is described. The observations were obtained by the Kuiper Airborne Observatory at an altitude of 12 km and in wavelength ranges 16-26, 28-48, 44-72, and 71-115 microns. Beyond 28 microns, the 2% polarization detected is consistent with zero polarization, while the upper limit in the 16-26 micron range is 7% polarization. It is suggested that the smallness of the detected polarization restricts nebula models for explaining the observations.
