RE 10 : AA bipolar nebula in the Coalsack.
Abstract
An optical linear polarization map of Re 10 shows it to be a bipolar reflection nebula whose central illuminating source is totally obscured at visible wavelengths by a circumstellar disk. The object is in the direction of the Coalsack and its association with this dark cloud makes it the first example of star formation in the region.
