Extended High Circular Polarization in the Orion Massive Star Forming Region: Implications for the Origin of Homochirality in the Solar System
(2010)
We present a wide-field (∼6′ × 6′) and deep near-infrared (K s band: 2.14 μm) circular polarization image in the Orion nebula, where massive stars and many low-mass stars are forming. Our results reveal that a high circular ...
Near-infrared circular polarimetry and correlation diagrams in the Orion Becklin-Neugebauer/Kleinman-low region: contribution of dichroic extinction
(2009)
We present a deep circular polarization (CP) image of the Orion Becklin-Neugebauer (BN)/Kleinman-Low (KL)nebula in the K-s band and correlations of CP, linear polarization (LP) and H-K-s color representing extinction. The ...
