Scientific paper

High-spatial-resolution observations of S140 are presented at wavelengths from 35 to 175 microns. A single strong far-infrared source has been found coincident with a compact near-infrared and H2O maser source and the center of a molecular cloud. The far-infrared spectrum suggests either significant absorption in the 20-micron region or a two-temperature dust structure. The infrared luminosity of approximately 20,000 suns is comparable to that of a late O or early B star, although no radio continuum flux has been seen from this object. The source is quite likely a dust-embedded protostar.
