The discovery of infrared continuum emission from NGC 7027 by Gillett, Low, and Stein in 1967 marked the beginning of far infrared observations of planetary nebulae. These early observations verified the predictions (Delmer, Gould, and Ramsey 1967) of infrared fine structure line emission from the SIV ion and also provided a surprise; namely, that the continuum radiation from planetary nebulae was not free-free emission from the gas, but rather that it was thermal emission from heated dust grains. In the ten years which have elapsed since 1967, numerous infrared emission lines have been observed and interpreted in many of the brighter planetary nebulae. In the middle infrared these lines were principally Ne II at 12.8μ, Gillett et al. (1969); SIV at 10.5μ, Holtz, et al. (1971), Gillett, et al. (1972), Aitken and Jones (1973); and AIII at 9.0μ Geballe and Rank (1973) and Gillett and Forrest (1973).

Main Component

Stars in the earliest phases of their formation, i.e., those accreting the main component of their final mass, are deeply embedded within dense cores of dust and molecular material. Because of the high line-of-sight extinction and the large amount of circumstellar material, stellar emission is reprocessed by dust into long wavelength radiation, typically in the far-infrared and sub-millimeter bands. Consequently, the youngest sources are strong submillimeter continuum sources, and often undetectable as point sources in the near-infrared and optical. The most deeply embedded of these sources have been labelled “Class 0” sources by André, Ward-Thompson, & Barsony (1994), in an extension of the spectral energy distribution classification scheme first proposed by Adams, Lada, & Shu (1987).

Abstract. Measurements of mid- to far-infrared nadir radiances obtained from the UK Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements (FAAM) BAe-146 aircraft during the Cirrus Coupled Cloud-Radiation Experiment (CIRCCREX) are used to assess the performance of various ice cloud bulk optical (single-scattering) property models. Through use of a minimisation approach, we find that the simulations can reproduce the observed spectra in the mid-infrared to within measurement uncertainty but are unable to simultaneously match the observations over the far-infrared frequency range. When both mid and far-infrared observations are used to minimise residuals, first order estimates of the flux differences between the best performing simulations and observations indicate a strong compensation effect between the mid and far infrared such that the absolute broadband difference is

ABSTRACT We present complicated dust structures within multiple regions of the candidate supernova remnant (SNR) the ‘Tornado’ (G357.7–0.1) using observations with Spitzer and Herschel. We use point process mapping, ppmap, to investigate the distribution of dust in the Tornado at a resolution of 8 arcsec, compared to the native telescope beams of 5–36 arcsec. We find complex dust structures at multiple temperatures within both the head and the tail of the Tornado, ranging from 15 to 60 K. Cool dust in the head forms a shell, with some overlap with the radio emission, which envelopes warm dust at the X-ray peak. Akin to the terrestrial sandy whirlwinds known as ‘dust devils’, we find a large mass of dust contained within the Tornado. We derive a total dust mass for the Tornado head of 16.7 $\rm M_{\odot }$, assuming a dust absorption coefficient of κ300 = 0.56 $\rm m^2\, kg^{-1}$, which can be explained by interstellar material swept up by a SNR expanding in a dense region. The X-ray, infrared, and radio emission from the Tornado head indicate that this is a SNR. The origin of the tail is more unclear, although we propose that there is an X-ray binary embedded in the SNR, the outflow from which drives into the SNR shell. This interaction forms the helical tail structure in a similar manner to that of the SNR W50 and microquasar SS 433.
