We conducted wide-field $JHK_{\rm s}$ imaging polarimetry toward NGC 2024, which is a massive star-forming region in the Orion B cloud. We found a prominent and extended polarized nebula over NGC 2024, and constrained the location of the illuminating source of the nebula through an analysis of polarization vectors. A massive star, IRS 2b with a spectral type of O8-B2, is located in the center of t...
