Scientific paper

The Comet Kohoutek was observed from 8.8 to 21 microns using the 1.3-m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory in December, 1973, and January, 1974. Data are given on the infrared fluxes observed in the 24-arcsec beam, brightness temperatures, color temperatures, and the derived infrared luminosity. The results show that Kohoutek is a bright infrared source, and are consistent with infrared observations of other comets.
