    Description: The symbiotic star EG Andromedae has recently been the subject of several studies investigating its wind properties. Late-type giants are usually considered to have winds driven by radiation pressure on dust. Indeed, the derived wind velocity for EG Andromedae is consistent with this model. We point out here that there is no appreciable dust opacity in the wind of EG Andromedae using constraints on extinction limits from International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) and far infrared fluxes from Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS). An alternate mechanism must operate in this star. We suggest that the wind can be driven by radiation pressure on molecular lines.

    Description: We searched the IRAS database at the positions of pulsars to see if they are associated with FIR sources, as might be expected if some pulsars possess preplanetary disks. There are 13 IRAS sources from the Point Source Catalog within 1 arcmin of nearly 500 radio pulsars. While this does not represent an enhancement over the number of chance coincidences, we argue that several are in fact associated with pulsars.

    Description: We present observations of the shock tracers H2 and SiO around the young stellar object IRAS 03282+3035. This unusual low-luminosity (L approximately = 2 solar luminosity) source drives a strong highly collimated CO outflow, and it is one of the youngest stellar objects known so far. The near-infrared H2 emission, tracing 2000 K gas, comes from extremely high velocity CO bullets along the axis of the blueshifted lobe of the outflow. The millimeter SiO emission, tracing roughly 100 K gas, arises from lower velocity material at the end of the outflow lobe. The lack of high-temperature and high-velocity gas at the end of the outflow lobe indicates there is no not bow shock at the outflow termination. In the context of current jet models this appears to rule out a bow shock driven by a steady state jet. Possible explanations for the structure include a time-dependent jet or a jet dominated by turbulent entrainment.

    Description: By working in the Fourier plane, approximate removal of stripe artifacts in IRAS images can be effected. The image of interest is smoothed and subtracted from the original, giving the high-spatial-frequency part. This 'filtered' image is then clipped to remove point sources and then Fourier transformed. Subtracting the Fourier components contributing to the stripes in this image from the Fourier transform of the original and transforming back to the image plane yields substantial removal of the stripes.

    Description: In a joint effort between engineers and scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology, a near-infrared (0.8 - 2.6 micrometers) direct imaging system has been developed and integrated into the Caltech Palomar Observatory detector series. The camera system has been tested and operated in a science mode at the prime-focus (f/3.3) of the Hale 5-m Telescope. This paper outlines the system components and performance, including discussion of the detector linearity.

    Description: We surveyed the IRAS data base at the positions of the 1808 O6-B9.5 stars in The Bright Star Catalog for extended objects with excess emission at 60 microns, indicating the presence of interstellar dust at the location of the star. Within 400 pc the filling factor of the interstellar medium, for dust clouds with a density greater than 0.5/cu cm is 14.6 + or - 2.4%. Above a density of 1.0/cu cm, the density distribution function appears to follow a power law index - 1.25. When the dust clouds are mapped onto the galactic plane, the sun appears to be located in a low-density region of the interstellar medium of width about 60 pc extending at least 500 pc in the direction of longitudes 80 deg - 260 deg, a feature we call the 'local trough'.
