The observed infrared excess in Be stars is usually interpreted as free-free and free-bound emission from a hot gas envelope around the Be star. This hot gas should also emit H-alpha line radiation. Earlier observations had suggested that the infrared excess and H-alpha radiation were not consistent with models in which they arise from the same ionized region; however the observations were made at different times. We have made simultaneous observation of infrared and H-alpha line radiation. Our observations imply that either both these radiations cannot arise from the same hot gas or additional processes have to be invoked to account for the observed excess infrared radiation

The existence of a dust shell and warm dust near HD 100764 are determined from IRAS observations of early R stars, and the ramifications of the findings are discussed. The mass of the dust shell is calculated to be 0.510 ...

The far-infrared IRAS excesses are found in ten luminous F-G stars. The far-IR fluxes from these stars are due to large amounts of dust around them. The far-IR flux distribution, far-IR luminosities and dust masses are ...
From IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite) Circulars Nos. 4 to 15, 110 infrared sources have been identified. Out of these 110 identified sources 99 are galaxies, nine are nebulae, one is a dark object, and one is a ...
