Scientific paper

Progress and early results of a multi-wavelength investigation of the extended reflection nebulosity in the vicinity of the Pleiades are discussed. The goals of this study are to constrain the 3-D scattering geometry of the nebula and optical properties of the associated dust grains, including an albedo-independent determination of the phase function form in the ultraviolet. We have mapped a 5() o times 1.7() o B_J-band (3600-5200 Angstroms) mosaic with the Burrell Schmidt telescope, as well as a larger 7() o 7() o region in HI 21-cm with the Green Bank 43-m. Several structural correlations are apparent between these data and IRAS 100 microns surface brightness. Coude Feed NaI D-line absorption measurements towards a selection of stars in the 21-cm map field will be used later to extract foreground gas morphologies. Finally, we give a first look at UV imaging polarimetry (1640 & 2180 Angstroms) of the Schmidt survey region, taken during the recent flight of WISP (Wide-field Imaging Survey Polarimeter), a sounding rocket payload telescope. WISP is supported by NASA grant NAG5-647.
