The environment of the very red object Orion n. A possible low mass companion?

We have imaged at high angular resolution the close environement of the very red source Orion n with NACO at the VLT UT4. We report the detection of a faint point like object 0.6'' away from this source. Assuming a distance of 450_-50⁺⁵⁰ pc and an age of 1 Myr, the photometry of this candidate companion is consistent with an object of mass 70-150 M_J assuming a visible extinction of A_V = 3-17. The relationship between this object and Orion n is discussed hereafter.
