Infrared one-dimensional (E-W and N-S) speckle interferometric observations centered on HD 44179 (the 'Red Rectangle') reveal spatially resolved extended emission at K, L, and M, of 1/e diameter 1.05 arcsec N-S and 0.4 arcsec E-W, as well as a central source of 1/e diameter 0.2 arcsec. Polarimetry at K with a beam size encompassing both sources was also obtained; the low resultant polarization suggests that scattering off grains associated with the bipolar flow is not a plausible source of the infrared emission. The spatially resolved extended emission is elongated in the direction of the bipolar flow and is interpreted as thermal dust emission.
