Study of the Infrared Celestial Background

Abstract

The following revised objectives were formulated: to determine the nature of infrared sources observed; to carry out theoretical investigations on the nature and evolution of selected infrared sources; and to establish the statistical distribution of infra-sources in space to a sensitivity limit and spatial resolution consistent with available observing equipment and techniques. The research objectives follow: Research on infrared sources in the W40 complex was published. Results of radio and infrared observations of OH/IR stars in the Galaxy were published. A theoretical study of the possibilities for observation of galaxies in the process of formation in the early universe was published in the Proceedings of the Montana Academy of Science. The results of a series of observations made on Nova Vulpeculae 1984 2 were published. Preliminary results on our studies of the infrared properties of the nuclei of planetary nebulae were presented. A theoretical model has been constructed for transfer of cosmic ray energy to emission nebulae.
