Abstract

Spectropolarimetric observations of the 10 arc second region surrounding Eta Carinae have been made in the 8-13 μm wavelength band. The observed polarization, of a few percent, is due to emission of radiation from aligned grains. The radial position angle of the polarization suggests that gas streaming is responsible for the grain alignment.
