    Abstract

    We have observed the bipolar post-AGB candidate OH 231.8+4.2, using the midinfrared interferometer MIDI and the infrared camera with the adaptive optics system NACO on the Very Large Telescope. The NACO images at 2.12 and 3.8 μm show a bipolar outflow and a flared disk or torus. An unresolved core (
