[4.05] Deep Inside OMC2

T J Jones (Univ. of Minnesota), D I Kelbe (Colorado College), M J Creech-Eakman (JPL), R Stencel (Denver Univ.)

We present deep 10 micron imaging and near IR imaging polarimetry of the inner core of OMC2. We find no evidence for new sources at 10 microns not found at shorter wavelengths. The faintest stars, none of which have yet reached the main sequence, have all been detected. Imaging polarimetry shows significant departure from centrosymmetric scattering about IRS1 along a narrow cone extending from the star.
