Scientific paper

A balloon-borne telescope was used to map NGC 6611, and three far-IR sources embedded in an extended ridge of emission were detected. It is found that Source I is an unresolved far-IR source, embedded in a molecular cloud, which despite the association of an H2O maser with its source does not exhibit radio continuum emissions. Far-IR sources II and III are associated with ionized gas-molecular cloud interfaces, with the far-IR radiation arising from dust at the boundary heated by the OB cluster. These observations are consistent with models of the later stages of evolution of an H II region.
