Submillimeter Polarization in the Orion Nebula.
26 December 1985
We have observed linear polarization of the submillimeter (270microns) continuum radiation from three regions in Orion: One centered on the Kleinmann-Low (KL) nebula, one centered on the 400microns peak 1'.5 south of the nebula, and one centered on OMC-2. The polarization measured at KL is P=(1.67+-0.24)% at phi=24+-6, and at the 400microns peak is P=(1.65 +-0.32)% at phi=28+-7. At OMC-2 we find a 2sigma upper limit of P
