IRCAM observations of the Reipurth 50 IR source
Description
Near infrared images have been obtained of the IR source associated with the Reipurth 50 variable nebula, using the IR camera (IRCAM) on UKIRT. Images suggest that a single embedded object, visible beyond 2 μm, is the illuminating source of a bent reflection cavity East of the source. An extinction of 20 to 30 visual magnitudes is deduced to the source. The reflection nebula has a blue tip at the furthest point from the source, suggestive of illumination by secondary scattering
