IRAS 22272+6358A is a young stellar object (YSO) in the LDN 1206 dark cloud which is noteworthy for its appearance as a cold (< 50 K) yet luminous ( ~ 1100 Lsun) protostellar source. From earlier work, it is found to have near-infrared bipolar jets, a molecular outflow (of which only the blue wing has been observed), and a dense circumstellar envelope which renders the illuminating source invisible at wavelengths < ~ 10 μ m. It also appears to drive a variety of masers, and so has been classified as a medium-to-high mass YSO, possibly of spectral type ~ B3; however, it may instead be a high mass analog of a Class 0 YSO with no well defined spectral type. We present data from near-infrared through millimeter wavelengths to give the most detailed picture of this object to date. From NASA IRTF near- and mid-infrared imaging, we unambiguously establish the location of the illuminating source and the inclination of its jets; from KAO far-infrared and JCMT submillimeter mapping, we refine its spectral energy distribution and its luminosity; and from OVRO 2.7 mm continuum measurements, in addition to the mid-infrared imaging, we establish the size, orientation, and mass of its circumstellar envelope. Support for this project has been provided by a JPL Lew Allen Award to M. Ressler and by a grant from the Supporting Research and Technology program of the NASA Office of Space Science.
