Scientific paper

The diffuse far infrared (C II) emission of several regions of the Galactic plane were sampled. Mechanisms for the excitation of carbon ions are discussed in reference to the role of carbon ion transitions in cooling diffuse atomic hydrogen. Observations indicate that the C II emission probably arises at the edges of giant molecular clouds and appears to have localized knot-like features. The total C II luminosity of the Galaxy is approximately 6 to 10 to the 7th power L(solar).
