Scientific paper

Far-infrared maps of AFGL 333 at 50 and 100 microns with 40 arsec resolution are presented. The observed luminosity of about 14,000 suns, together with previous radio continuum observations, indicates that the source is powered by a B0.5 zero-age main-sequence star. The relatively low molecular density of about 1000 per cu cm inferred from the observed dust optical depth probably implies that AFGL 333 is not as young as the other H II/infrared objects, W3(A) and W3(OH), in the W3/W4 system.
