Optical polarization in the Serpens Nebula
Optical polarization in the Serpens Nebula is a scholarly work, published in 1983 in ''Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society''. The main subjects of the publication include Protoplanetary nebula, physics, formation and evolution of the Solar System, interstellar cloud, nebula, Serpens, dark nebula, electrochemical polarization, Crab Nebula, star formation, Stars, astronomy, reflection nebula, emission nebula, astrophysics, and molecular cloud. Optical polarization maps are presented that indicate that the object is a reflection nebula illuminated by a highly obscured star that is itself seen through magnetically aligned grains.
