In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of polynomials that are orthonormal over the interior domain of an analytic Jordan curve L with respect to area measure. We prove that, inside L, these polynomials behave asymptotically like a sequence of certain integrals involving the canonical conformal map of the exterior of L onto the exterior of the unit circle and certain meromorphic kernel function defined in terms of a conformal map of the interior of L onto the unit disk. We then use this result to obtain more precise asymptotic formulas for the polynomials under certain additional geometric considerations. These formulas yield, in turn, fine results on the location, limiting distribution, and accumulation points of the zeros of the polynomials.
