bright nebula
2.We present H and K s polarimetric images in a ～5′ field of star forming region NGC7538. The polarimetric images reveal the complex structure of infrared nebulosities and clusters of young stars, associated with the bright infrared sources IRS 1 11. The polarization pattern in the IRS 1 3 nebula shows a dominant illumination from deeply embedded source IRS 1. The morphology of the nebula can be modeled by a low extincted bubble enclosed by redder and highly polarized shell.
