Star-Forming Regions: Infrared Polarimetry

Scientific paper

The authors have adapted a linear polarimeter to the new infrared camera (IRC2) of the University of Texas at Austin. One of the current projects using this new instrument is to obtain high angular resolution polarization maps of selected galactic star formation regions. The first polarimetric measurements were obtained in November of 1992 at the 2.7 m telescope of McDonald Observatory, and the data reduction is still in progress. This paper provides a brief overview of both the polarimetric near-infrared camera and the data reduction procedure, and also some preliminary results on the polarimetric imaging of L1551/IRS 5.
