Scientific paper

A high resolution polarization map of OH 0739-14 at 2.2 microns is presented. It is concluded from the polarization data that a scattering mechanism in a bipolar nebula dominates the production of the polarization. The central source of the illumination appears to be scattering by dust grains located at the waist of the 2.2 micron-map, although it is obscured from direct view. The intensity peak at 2.2 microns is one of the polar lobes, while the other polar lobe is much less intense.
