dc.descriptionWe present high-resolution infrared imaging of the massive star-forming region around the O-star Herschel 36. Special emphasis is given to a compact infrared source at 0".25 southeast of the star. The infrared source, hereafter Her 36 SE, is extended in the broad-band images, but features spatially unresolved Br gamma line emission. The line-emission source coincides in position with the previous HST detections in H alpha and the 2 cm radio continuum emission detected by VLA interferometry. We propose that the infrared source Her 36 SE harbors an early B-type star, deeply embedded in a dusty cloud. The fan shape of the cloud with Herschel 36 at its apex, though, manifests direct and ongoing destructive influence of the O7V star on Her 36 SE.
