Optical polarization studies of Herbig Haro objects - III. HH 100 in Corona Australis.
Abstract
Optical linear polarization data for the HH 100 nebulosity are presented. The authors are unable to confirm that HH 100 IRS is the sole source of excitation and illumination of the nebula and they suggest that there may be an additional and/or alternative source deeply embedded within the nebula itself.
