    Description: A sample of 47 previously uncatalogued objects located above a Galactic latitude of 50 deg, and detected at 12 microns by the IRAS, is studied using near-infrared photometry. Ground-based observations show that the objects consist primarily of late-type M giant stars with long-wavelength excesses probably due to emission from dust associated with mass loss. The sample contains one oxygen-rich giant star undergoing rapid mass loss; an extremely cool (1230 K) carbon star 12560-1656 that may be as far as 10 kpc away; and a luminious quasar 13349-2438. The absence of nearby, low-luminosity infrared sources in this sample limits the space density of field brown dwarf stars. The fact that almost all the IRAS 12 micron sources have stellar counterparts visible on both the red and blue Palomar Observatory Sky Survey prints provides a tool for discriminating ordinary red stars.

    Description: IRAS observations of the extreme hydrogen-deficient supergiant R CrB are presented and discussed. The star is surrounded by an enormous cool dust cloud which is tentatively identified as a fossil remnant of the hydrogen-rich envelope of the star. The angular extent of the emission corresponds to a linear extent of 8 pc, 20 times larger than the largest previously known shell around a late-type star. The radiating material is distributed very symmetrically over a wide range of radial distances from the star. The dust temperature is nearly constant throughout the extended shell. The total mass in the shell is about 0.3 solar mass. The ejection process appears to have occurred in a spherically symmetric fashion with a nearly constant mass loss rate and expansion velocity over a period of about 150,000 yr, terminating about 26,000 yr ago.

    Description: IRAS observations of the nuclear bulge of M31 are reported. The 12-micron and 25-micron emission is attributed to circumstellar dust emission from late-type stars, while the 60 and 100-micron emission is attributed to interstellar dust emission. The total input rate of circumstellar gas and dust into the interstellar medium is estimated to be 0.015 solar masses/yr. The mass of dust in the interstellar medium estimated from the far-infared flux is about 1500 solar masses. The color temperature of the far-infrared-emitting dust is 45 K. The time required to accumulate the observed mass in interstellar dust is about 10 million yr. Either supernova-generated winds or star formation can deplete this gas without violating the observations.

    Description: IRAS satellite IR observations are presently used to investigate the properties of the dust in a small sample of irregular galaxies chosen to cover a wide range in levels of star formation activity. The irregulars are found to have comparatively normal IR properties; the only exception is NGC 1569, an irregular galaxy with intense global star formation which seems to have a larger dust fraction at temperatures whose energies peak at 25-60 microns, by comparison with other irregulars. DDO 47, the system with lowest star formation activity, has the lowest far-IR color temperature and highest ratio of IR to H-alpha flux; this is suggested to be due to the decreased importance of radiation from young stars in heating the dust.

    Description: IRAS 12-100 micron data on the Cas A remnant are presented, and various physical mechanisms and astrophysical sites that may contribute to the observed infrared emission are analyzed. The contributions of various sources of infrared emission to the IRAS fluxes are found to be small. The residual infrared emission is attributed to thermal emission from dust which is swept up by the expanding supernova blast wave and collisionally heated by the postshock X-ray emitting gas. The calculations are consistent with a shock velocity of 1800 km/s and a preshock gas density of about 2/cu cm. The mass of the swept-up gas is about 0.6 solar mass. An excess of 12 micron thermal emission in the spectrum of Cas A suggests the presence of very small particles in the preshocked gas.

    Description: Observations of the potential optical counterparts of the unusual source IRAS 18333-2357 are reported. There are three distinct optical objects located within roughly 2 arcsec of the IR source: a red star, a very blue star, and an extended emission line nebulosity. IRAS 18333-2357 indeed appears to be physically associated with the Galactic globular cluster M22, and while it probably should be considered a PN, its very small nebular mass and extreme abundance anomalies are very unusual among known PNe. IRAS 18333-2357 does not appear to be at an early stage of PN evolution, but instead may be in a late stage. The lack of an associated radio or H-alpha source is the result of abundance anomalies in the source.

    Description: Measurements of the flux from the central portion of the Beta Pic disk performed via photometry at 3.5-20 microns in 4- and 8-arcsec apertures are presented. The 10.1- and 20-micron measurements show an excess which is extended, with significant flux located in the annulus between 4- and 8-arcsec diameter centered on the star. Disk models are calculated to reproduce the ground-based IR data, IRAS fluxes, IRAS 60-micron scan profile widths, and optical scattered light distribution. The color temperature and angular scale of the disk are found to be inconsistent with emission from large ('blackbody') particles: most of the thermal emission originates from particles which are inefficient radiators, with sizes near 1 micron. A simple disk with a single power-law spatial distribution is inconsistent with the combined optical and IR data. The inner disk component represents a gross deficit of material relative to an inward extrapolation of the outer component.
