IRAS 18059-3211: Optically Known as ``Gomez's Hamburger''
Abstract
Spectra, polarimetry, and infrared and visual photometry of this recently discovered object are discussed. A scenario of an A0 III type star embedded in a torus of hot dust surrounded by a cloud of colder dust is suggested. The object is believed to be at an advanced evolutionary stage possibly related to the formation of a planetary nebula.
