Abstract

New ground-based infrared observations of the K3–50 region are reported at wavelengths between 2 and 34 μm, and at 1 mm. The main results are (a) that the visible nebula K3–50 is displaced from its infrared and radio counterparts, (b) that component C1 (the OH source ON-3) appears very faint at λ ⩽ 20μm⁠, and is therefore probably obscured by several hundred magnitudes of visual extinction, (c) that both K3–50 and component Care associated with separate condensations of molecular hydrogen, each of about 3000 M⊙, and (d) there are no strong sources in this region at 20 μm other than those associated with H II condensations.
