More than thirty compact sources were detected in the approx 0.5 degree area scanned; many of these sources do not have IRAS PSC counterparts. The diffuse emission accounts for nearly half of the total emission in the band. A comparison with observations at other wavelengths shows that the far-infrared emission is well correlated with other tracers of matter. The region appears to be rich in massive stars and most of the compact far-infrared sources are likely to be dust-gas clumps heated externally by these stars. 收起
