Description
We present a new 11.7{mu}m mosaic image of the inner Orion Nebula obtained with the T-ReCS instrument on Gemini South. The map covers 2.7'x1.6', with a diffraction-limited spatial resolution of 0.35"; it includes the BN/KL region, the Trapezium, and OMC-1 South. Excluding BN/KL, we detect 91 thermal-IR point sources, with 27 known proplyds and over 30 "naked" stars showing no extended structure in Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images.
