Infrared Studies of AFGL Sources.

Abstract

The data acquired during the past three years from a promising base upon which to build a statistically complete analysis of the infrared objects populating our galaxy. Wyoming observations have also provided insight into the nature of new, and in some cases bizarre, classes of infrared sources which were discovered by the AFGL infrared survey. Many of these objects appear to represent important phases in the ongoing process of stellar birth and death. (Author)
