Scientific paper

I will review several recent results of a large mosaic of the Orion Nebula made with T-ReCS at Gemini South. Spitzer has transformed our ability to study star formation in the Galaxy on a large scale, but in bright nearby regions like Orion, the high spatial resolution achievable only with large ground-based telescopes still plays a dominant role at mid-IR wavelengths. Specifically, in studying diffuse shock structures, disks, and embedded sources, mid-IR images obtained with 8m class telescopes allow us to compare thermal dust emission to high resolution HST images of ionized gas at similar spatial resolution. Ground-based mid-IR imaging at high spatial resolution allows provides unique clues to regions of embedded massive star formation, such as the BN/KL core in Orion.
