Scientific paper

It is shown that the presence of grains distributed throughout either disk or spherical galaxies can lead to detectable far-infrared sources. In particular, an elliptical such as NGC 4278 with an appreciable amount of neutral gas should be easily detectable with the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) if it has a dust-to-gas ratio similar to the value in the solar neighborhood. A disk should be detectable at 100 Mpc with IRAS. Also, disks may emit most of their energy longward of 100 microns; this could be important for estimating the mass-to-light ratios of these galaxies.
