Spectropolarimetry of the 3 micron ice feature toward the becklin-neugebauer object 1

We present spectropolarimetry of the 3.1 μm water-ice feature in the Becklin-Neugebauer (BN) object in OMC-1, with spectral resolution and signal-to-noise ratios substantially improved over previous observations. The well-known increase in polarization within the ice feature is interpreted in terms...
