Astronomical polarization studies at radio and infrared wavelengths. Part 2. Far infrared polarization of dust clouds

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7306538
Far infrared polarization of dust clouds is examined. The recently observed 10 micron polarization of the Orion Nebula and the Galactic Center suggests that far infrared polarization may be found in these objects. Estimates are made of the degree of far infrared polarization that may exist in the Orion Nebula. An attempt to observe far infrared polarization from the Orion Nebula was carried out.
