Scientific paper

A survey has been made of a quarter of the celestial sphere from balloon altitudes with a telescope having a 1.6-deg beamwidth and two spectral bands: 3-10 kaysers and 10-25 kaysers. The limiting sensitivity of the survey was 10,000 Jy. The galactic disk was detected from 358 to 45 deg galactic longitude. The total far-infrared flux from several regions on the galactic plane measured in this survey is 5-10 times larger than that observed by others using smaller beamwidths and small-amplitude spatial chopping, indicating that a substantial part of the emission comes from extended sources. Two other extended sources were also observed, one in the Cygnus region and the other a spur running off the galactic plane at 130 deg galactic longitude toward the north celestial pole. In addition, lower limits for the spectral index of interstellar dust emission are presented.
