  We conducted sub-arcsecond near-infrared imaging observations of RNO91 with
CIAO mounted on the SUBARU 8.2 m telescope. We present our JHK band data along
with optical images, which when considered together reveal a complex
circumstellar structure. We examined the colors of associated nebula and
compared the geometry of the outflow/disk system suggested by our data with
that already proposed on the basis of previous studies. Our K-band image shows
bright circumstellar nebulosity detected within 2"(300AU) around the central
source while it is less conspicuous at shorter wavelengths such as J and
optical. P.A. and size of this red color nebulosity in our H-K color image
agree with those of the previously detected polarization disk. These data
agreement indicate that this bright circumstellar nebulosity region which
follows the reddening law might be attributed to a disk-like structure. At J
and optical wavelengths, several blue knot-like structures are detected around
and beyond the bright circumstellar nebulosity. We suggest that these knotty
reflection nebulae may represent disintegrating fragments of an infalling
envelope. The three-color composite image has an appearance of arc-shaped
nebulosity extending to the north and to the east through the central source.
On the other end of this arc-shaped structure, the nebula appears to become
more extended (2."3 long) to the southwest. We interpret these structures as
roots of bipolar cavities opening to the northeast and southwest. The complex
distribution of reflection nebulosity seen around RNO91 appears to confirm the
interpretation of this source as an object dispersing its molecular envelope
while transitioning from protostar to T Tauri star.
