Scientific paper

Large-beam far-infrared photometry is used to estimate the dust temperature and mass, geometry, and energetics of the Lagoon Nebula (M8). Most of the data can be explained in terms of the visible star cluster, NGC 6530, heating a dense molecular cloud that lies behind it. The source M8E, however, may be heated internally, and appears to be a likely site of very recent star formation. The associated molecular cloud may be the location of future stellar formation activity as well.
