Scientific paper

We propose a pilot survey at 24micron of the Galactic plane. Our survey will cover 5 deg^2 centered on l=44deg and b=0deg. This region includes cold quiescent clouds, active star--forming regions and interarm material. A 24micron survey is a timely and critical source of information for separating warmer dust identified in the mid--IR from cooler dust observed in mm and sub-mm images. The pilot region complements existing and planned imaging from 1mm to IRAC/GLIMPSE imaging. We will estimate the integrated dust properties as a function of environment, and apply standard techniques to investigate the distribution of point sources and extended emission in the data. A key aspect of this project will be obtaining distances toward discrete 24micron sources using the GRS. The combination of a MIPS 24micron survey, GRS, as well as GLIMPSE IRAC and MSX images, will offer unique insights into the physical nature of star formation.
