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
