Scientific paper

This grant supported the acquisition, analysis and publication of high spatial resolution observations of the far-infrared emission from compact regions of star-forming molecular clouds using the Kuiper Airborne Observatory. We studied regions which are forming stars of low and intermediate mass. In analyzing the data, we utilized radiative transfer codes, incorporating disk models and envelopes, including departures from spherical symmetry. These data, along with data at other wavelengths, were used to probe the distribution of dust temperature and density around young stars and to test theoretical predictions about star formation.
