Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Two broad, far-IR surveys centered around 70 microns and 130 microns were carried out of a 40 x 40 arcmin region around the NGC 2264 molecular cloud. The scans were performed to detect star formation processes which could account for the kinetic temperatures observed in the cloud. Balloon-borne IR telescope data were gathered in September 1980 and yielded surface brightness contour maps. The total cloud luminosity was set at 3800 solar luminosities. A far-IR source with an 1800 solar luminosity brightness was also detected and was coincident with a C-13 line, indicating the presence of an embedded object.
