Abstract: We present the results of high-resolution mid-infrared observations of the source NGC 3576 IRS 1. Near diffraction-limited images were taken at the Gemini South Observatory through OSCIR's filters N (10.8 μm), 7.9, 9.8, 12.5 and IHW18 (18.2 μm). The source IRS1 was resolved into 3 sources for the first time at mid-infrared wavelengths. For each source we constructed the SED from 1.25 to 18 μm, as well the color temperature and the spatial distribution of the dust in the region. The optical depth of the silicate absorption feature at 9.8 μm is presented also. Based on observations obtained at the Gemini Observatory, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under a cooperative agreement with the NSF on behalf of the Gemini partnership: the National Science Foundation (United States), the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (United Kingdom), the National Research Council (Canada), CONICYT (Chile), the Australian Research Council (Australia), CNPq (Brazil) and CONICET (Argentina). This paper is based on observations obtained with the mid-infrared camera OSCIR, developed by the University of Florida with support from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and operated jointly by Gemini and the University of Florida Infrared Astrophysics Group.
