Scientific paper

Spectra of the Becklin-Neugebauer source in Orion and the associated nebula are presented covering the complete range from 3.3-5.5 microns with a resolution of 1.2 kaysers. The data were taken in December 1976 and February 1978. Atomic hydrogen emission lines of Brackett-alpha and Pfund-beta are seen, as well as molecular CO absorptions. No other features intrinsic to BN were detected. The December 1976 data show an anomalously high intensity for Pfund-beta line. Theoretical considerations are presented which suggest that Pfund-beta radiation arises in a small dense region, with the transition possibly lasing.
