    Description: Medium resolution (11 min) maps of the galactic plane are presented from l = 11.5 deg to l = 17.5 deg at wavelengths of 93 microns, 154 microns, and 190 microns. The maps are interpreted in terms of the temperature and spatial structure of diffuse far-infrared/submillimeter sources associated with evolved H II regions and a continuous ridge of galactic emission. The emission regions are found to be more extended at the longer wavelengths which implies that there must be a range of dust temperatures in the sources. The properties of the galactic ridge are similar to those of the sources.

    Description: New 8 to 13 micron array camera images of the central kiloparsec of Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068 resolve structure that is similar to that observed at visible and radio wavelengths. The images reveal an infrared source which is extended and asymmetric, with its long axis oriented at P.A. 33 deg. Maps of the spatial distribution of 8 to 13 micron color temperature and warm dust opacity are derived from the multiwavelength infrared images. The results suggest that there exist two pointlike luminosity sources in the central regions of NGC 1068, with the brighter source at the nucleus and the fainter one some 100 pc to the northeast. This geometry strengthens the possibility that the 10 micron emission observed from grains in the nucleus is powered by a nonthermal source. In the context of earlier visible and radio studies, these results considerably strengthen the case for jet induced star formation in NGC 1068.

    Description: Mid-IR images of AFGL 2688, the Egg nebula, obtained with a 16 x 16 pixel array camera (field of view 12.5 x 12.5 arcsec) resolve the central source. It appears as a centrally peaked ellipsoid with major axis of symmetry parallel to the axis of the visible nebulosity. This is contrary to the expected extension perpendicular to this axis implied by proposed dust-toroid models of the IR source. Maps of the spatial distribution of 8-13 micron color temperature and warm dust opacity derived from the multiwavelength images further characterize the IR emission. The remarkable flatness of the color temperature conflicts with the radial temperature gradient expected across a thick shell of material with a single heat source at its center. The new data suggest instead that the source consists of a central star surrounded by a dust shell that is too thin to provide a detectable temperature gradient and too small to permit the resolution of limb brightening.

    Description: Maps are presented with 12-arcmin resolution of the Galactic Center and adjacent galactic plane, from l(Pc) = 359 deg to l(Pc) = 5 deg. The data were obtained with the Steward Observatory's cryogenically-cooled, balloon-borne telescope. The data are from channels filtered for a bandpass of 70 to 110 microns and for a longpass of wavelength greater than 80 microns. For the typical effective temperature of 25 K of a galactic H II region at this spatial resolution, the effective wavelengths of the channels are 93 microns and 145 microns. Continuous emission is mapped along the galactic plane in both wavelengths. There are two contrasts between the immediate vicinity of SgrA l(Pc) smaller than 1 deg, and the galactic plane in general. Firstly, for l(Pi) greater than 1 deg the galactic plane narrows dramatically at 93 microns, while retaining its width at 145 microns. Secondly, the individual sources at l(Pc) (which are associated with H II regions) have greater peak brightness in the 145-micron channel than the 93-micron channel, while SgrA has approximately equal peak brightness in each. The maps demonstrate the importance of submillimeter wavelengths to galactic surveys.

    Description: The large-scale structure of the giant H II region complex W3/W4 has been mapped in two wavelength bands covering 60 to 120 microns at an angular resolution of 12 arc min. The only region of strong emission observed lies along a molecular ridge at an ionization/shock front in the sources. This structure supports the idea that a new generation of stars formed after neutral material ahead of the front became gravitationally unstable. These embedded stars are dominating the energetics of the molecular/infrared cloud, although the visible OCl 352 cluster in neighboring IC 1805 may supply much of the heating flux to the fainter regions. A simple model relating the far-infrared and CO emission is presented.

    Description: Observations of the core of W51 have been made from the NASA C-141 Airborne Infrared Observatory at 55 microns with 17-, 35-, and 85-arc sec apertures and at 100 microns with a 35-arc sec aperture. These observations suggest the presence of a small less than about 20 arc sec source at 55 microns surrounded by a much broader diffuse background. In the center of the source the optical depth at 55 and 100 microns is on the order of 0.1-0.2.

    Description: The paper reports the discovery of far-IR emission at 53, 100, and 175 microns from two sources (one in NGC 2264 and another near the Rosette Nebula) associated with molecular clouds but not with any detectable radio continuum emission. The maximum source diameters are estimated to be 20 arcsec, and the spectra of both objects are shown to be broader than that of a 'typical' H II region. It is found that both objects are unresolved at all the IR wavelengths observed, have relatively wide IR spectra, are located at or near the apices of fan-shaped cometary nebulae, have colors between 50 and 200 microns that are among the coolest of any observed far-IR sources, and have luminosities that are an order of magnitude less than the weakest sources observed near compact H II regions. A cylindrically symmetric source model is considered in which a 'hole' in the dust distribution around the central source provides the visible luminosity of the nearby nebula and the dust temperature decreases rapidly with distance. It is suggested that the central sources are probably pre-main-sequence stellar objects with masses of 5 to 10 solar masses and luminosities of a few thousand suns.

    Description: Infrared observations are presented of two compact sources associated with molecular clouds. Photometry from 2 to 200 microns of the source associated with an OH maser in NGC 2071, OH 205.1-14.1, shows a steep increase in flux from 2 to 50 microns. Scans at several wavelengths fail to resolve the source. Photometry at 50-200 microns of the other object, GL 490, when combined with earlier 2-20-micron spectrophotometry, shows an infrared energy distribution that is much broader than that of the NGC 2071 source. Both sources are interpreted as young, possibly pre-main-sequence objects with differences in energy distributions due principally to differences in the distribution of circumstellar matter.
