Scientific paper

We summarize the highlights of recent mid-IR (8.8, 11.7, and 18.3 micron) imaging of a 2.7x1.6 square arcminute region of Orion with 0.35 arcsec spatial resolution, using the T-ReCS camera on Gemini South. We detect dust emission from numerous point sources for the first time at these wavelengths, including most known proplyds in the region, remnant dust disks around stars with no disks seen by HST, and several embedded protostars in the OMC-1 South region. We detect a circumstellar disk around the embedded source IRc9, and we discuss numerous aspects of the diffuse thermal-IR dust emission in the Orion nebula.
