Scientific paper

Ground-based infrared observations of the K3-50 region are reported at wavelengths between 2 and 34 microns as well as at 1 mm. The main results are that (1) the visible nebular K3-50 is displaced from its infrared and radio counterparts; (2) component Cl (the OH source ON-3) appears very faint at wavelengths not exceeding 20 microns and is therefore probably obscured by several hundred magnitudes of visual extinction; (3) both K3-50 and component C are associated with separate condensations of molecular hydrogen, each of about 3000 solar masses; and (4) there are no strong sources in this region at 20 microns other than those associated with H II condensations.
