The authors present the first optical and mid-infrared polarimetry of OH 0739-14 (= OH 231.8+4.2) as well as optical photometry. They also confirm previous near-infrared polarimetry. The authors model the wavelength dependence of the polarization. A model using 0.05 μm silicate grains fits the data at optical and near-infrared wavelengths but does not do well at the 10 μm silicate feature. The model with 0.1 μm ice grains fits the data well except at the L band, which is near the 3.08 μm ice absorption feature. The source is most likely to contain a mixture of these two grain species.
