Five months after the 1982 Symposium in London the InfraRed Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) was launched. Undoubtedly this has been the major event of the last five years in the infrared world, with a great impact in the field of Planetary Nebulae (PN) research (^).

AbstractThe AKARI Far-IR All-Sky Survey (AFASS) maps produced by the AKARI Infrared Astronomical Satellite enabled us to probe the far-IR sky for objects having surface brightnesses greater than a few to a couple of dozen MJy sr−1. Recently, we have verified that, if AFASS-measured fluxes are properly corrected for using the aperture correction method based on the empirical point-spread-function templates derived directly from the AFASS maps, point-source photometry measured from the AFASS maps reproduces fluxes in the AKARI bright source catalogue (BSC). We have surveyed the far-IR sky in the AFASS for Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) based on the University of Hong Kong/Australian Astronomical Observatory/Strasbourg Observatory Hα Planetary Nebula database (HASHPNDB), preliminarily yielding far-IR fluxes for roughly 1000 Galactic PNe including a few hundreds of PNe not listed in the AKARI/BSC.

A systematic search of dust structure in the far infrared (100 μm and 60 μm) IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite) survey was performed using Sky View Observatory. In order to find the possible candidate, we used SIMBAD database to locate discrete sources in the region. A deep cavity-like isolated far infrared dust structure (size ~ 4.46 pc × 2.23 pc) at galactic longitude: 284.360o, galactic latitude: -9.549o was found at the distance of about 375 pc. We have studied the flux density variation and then calculated temperature and mass profile of the dust and excess mass using data reduction software ALADIN 7.5 within this region. The dust color temperature was found to lie in the range 23.40 K to 29.28 K. An offset temperature of about 6.0 K was found. The total mass of the dust structure was found to be about 2.55×1027 kg and the excess mass per pixel was 2.52×1024 kg. We also studied the rate of mass loading around the structure. The energy of the pulsar required to create that in homogeneity in the structure was calculated to be 5.04×1036 J. Possible explanations of results will be presented.Journal of Institute of Science and Technology, 2017, 22 (1): 1-9

In this work, we have studied the far-infrared images of the dust cavity around the White Dwarf WD 0352-049 available in Infrared Astronomical Satellite Map from Sky View Observatory. The size of the cavity is 24.48 pc × 8.10 pc. We have studied the relative infrared flux density and calculated the dust color temperature and dust mass. The temperature of the whole cavity structure lies between a maximum value 24.09 ± 0.50 K to a minimum 21.87 ± 0.61K with fluctuation of 2.22 K and an average value of 23.09 ± 1.11 K. The small fluctuation of dust color temperature suggests that the dust in cavity structure is evolving independently and less disturbed from background radiation sources. The color map shows the identical distribution of flux at 60 μm and 100 μm and the inverse distribution of dust color temperature and dust mass. There is a Gaussian-like distribution of relative flux density, dust color temperature and dust mass. The Gaussian distribution of temperature suggests that the dusts in cavity are in local thermodynamic equilibrium. The study of relative flux density and dust color temperature along the major and minor axis shows there is a sinusoidal fluctuation of flux and temperature, which might be due to the wind generated by White Dwarf located nearby the center of the cavity structure. The total dust mass of the dust is found to be 0.07 Mʘ and that of gas is 13.66 Mʘ. The Jeans mass of the structure is less than the total mass of gas in the structure, suggesting the possibility of star formation activity by gravitational collapse in the future. Also, the study of inclination angle suggests that the three-dimensional shape of the structure is uniform and regularly shaped.

AbstractInfrared observations of supernova remnants obtained with the Infrared Astronomical Satellite provide new insights into the dynamics and energetics of the remnants, and into their interaction with the ambient interstellar medium. In most remnants the infrared emission arises from dust that is collisionally heated by the X-ray emitting gas. The infrared observations can therefore be used as a diagnostic for the physical conditions of the shocked gas. In particular, it is shown that all the prominent X-ray remnants in the Galaxy and in the LMC cool mainly by dust grain collisions instead of atomic processes.

The first analysis of the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) data revealed differences between barred and unbarred spirals. The study of Shapley-Ames galaxies, by De Jong et al (1984), revealed that barred spirals tend, on average, to be associated with “warmer” far infrared color temperatures and higher Lfir/Lblue ratios than unbarred spirals. In a related study Hawarden et al (1986) noted that barred and unbarred spirals could be partially segregated on the basis of the IRAS S25μm/S25μm flux ratio. Both sets of investigators attributed the differences, between barred and unbarred spirals, to a nuclear starburst in the barred types.

The Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), launched 1983 January 25, has been conducting a high-sensitivity, high-resolution all-sky photometric survey at wavelengths of 12, 25, 60, and 100 μm in the infrared. One of the data products from the survey will be a map of the entire Milky Way within latitude limits of 10 degrees at a resolution of 4 arcminutes. Since the IRAS detector system is DC-coupled and has demonstrated excellent stability, this map will contain reliable information on all spatial scales larger than the map resolution. The extremely high sensitivity of the IRAS instrument for the detection of interstellar material in the survey mode is illustrated here in terms of visual extinction and dust and gas column densities.
