Abstract

We have conducted aperture polarimetry of ~500 stars of the Orion Nebula Cluster in M42 based on our wide-field (~8'x8') JHKs-band polarimetry. Most of the near-infrared (NIR) polarizations are dichroic, with position angles of polarization agreeing, both globally and locally, with previous far-infrared (FIR) and submillimeter observations, having taken into account the 90{deg} difference in angles between dichroic absorption and emission. This is consistent with the idea that both NIR dichroic polarizations and FIR/submillimeter thermal polarizations trace the magnetic fields in the OMC-1 region.
