Scientific paper

An optical linear polarization map is presented for M43 and the dark lane that appears to divide it from M42. Within M43 the map shows the characteristic centrosymmetric pattern of a nebula illuminated by a central star. The change in polarization pattern in the dividing lane indicates that the dust within it permeates both nebulae rather than forming a foreground obscuration. A region of high polarization (about 20 per cent) on the NE periphery of M43 has been identified.
