Scientific paper

The continuum produced by the brightest region of the Orion Nebula has been observed photoelectrically. The spectral range covered is from λ~3500 to λ~11000. The various processes contributing to the continuum energy have been studied. The component provided by electron scattering has been computed, using the observed continuum of the Trapezium stars. This contribution is quite significant and it is responsible for the polarization found in the Nebula. The stellar light is also scattered by dust giving some contribution to the continuum energy. From the latter component the albedo of the solid has been derived. The variation of the albedo with wavelength has permitted to estimate the value of the refractive index.
