Scientific paper

A balloon observation of the infrared radiation of the Milky Way was carried out at the wavelength 2.4 micrometers. The Milky Way was raster scanned from 23 deg to 75 deg longitude. The surface brightness was found to decrease with increasing longitude, with humps in the tangential directions of the spiral arms. The longitude dependence observed for the 2.4 micrometer radiation is correlated at least in part with those of the 2.6 mm CO line, H II regions, the 21-cm hydrogen line of positive velocities and 100 MeV gamma rays.
