Abstract (from CDS):
begin{HTML}We present high spatial resolution (0''.3) polarimetric images in the H and K bands and direct images in the L' and M' bands of the NGC 6334V infrared nebulae. The images show complex structures including the multishells and various knots in the nebulae. The appearances and colors of the eastern and western nebulae differ considerably. Our polarization images also show differences between the illuminating sources of the nebulae: the eastern nebula is illuminated by a deeply embedded mid-infrared source, KDJ 4, and the western nebula by our newly detected near-infrared source, WN-A1. The degree of polarization of the nebulae is very large, up to 70% at K and 60% at H, which is consistent with a single scattering of near-infrared radiation from each source at the walls of the mass outflows.
