Scientific paper

Broadband photometric observations of IRC + 10216 in five wavelength intervals from 50 to 1000 microns are reported. The observed radiation is interpreted as thermal emission from dust in the extended molecular cloud heated by the compact 2-20-micron source at the cloud core. The shape of the 50-1000-micron spectrum suggests that the emissivity of the dust particles varies approximately as the inverse wavelength over this spectral interval. The mass of dust inferred from the far-infrared emission is comparable with the mass of heavy molecules in the cloud.
