Scientific paper

We propose to obtain IRS spectra for a set of very red point sources from the MIPS survey of the inner Galactic plane. These objects are among the reddest [8]-[24] sources in the surveyed region. They are significantly redder than the general population of young stellar objects but are typically too bright to be background galaxies. On infrared color-color diagrams, they do not correspond to any previously known population either in the Milky Way or the Magellanic Clouds. The infrared spectra that only Spitzer's IRS can provide for these very red objects will enable us to decode their anomalous colors, characterize their properties such as grain types and size distributions, temperatures, and radiation fields, and, ultimately, determine their identity.
