Scientific paper

The IRAS 60- and 100-micron flux measurements are commonly explained by dust continuum emission, but this explanation sometimes requires unexpectedly high dust temperatures. It is shown that the contribution of fine structure radiation of neutral oxygen, neutral O (63 microns), can be significant in the IRAS 60-micron band. The neutral O (63 microns) line emission together with the dust continuum emission offers a plausible explanation of the observed flux ratio I (60)/I (100), as well as of its variation in individual clouds. As an example, the cirrus cloud G230-28 N is discussed.
