Scientific paper

Using IRAS data, the infrared emission character of the star-forming region CMa OB1/R1 complex was studied in detail and compared with the optical, CO, and radio continuum observations. The results show that the emission from this complex consists of a diffuse emission and several discrete sources. The infrared diffuse emission can be explained by two O stars, but the extended H II region may be the combined result of a remnant of an old H II region and those two O stars, which are still on the main sequence. Most of the discrete sources correspond to the emission or reflection nebulae, but a few have no optical counterparts. The latter may be excited by early-type stars just arriving at the main sequence and still embedded in dense dust cloud.
