Spectral imaging of HII region interfaces and reflection nebulae
<=== abstract ===>
SCIENTIFIC ABSTRACT:
The aim of this proposal is to secure spectral imaging of a few classical
Galactic targets with the ISOCAM CVF over the full accessible LW range.
While such observations are in principle possible by other means (ground and
KAO) at least for the HII region interfaces, we have no guaranty that they 
will ever be made, and ISO will allow to obtain homogeneous, good-quality 
data with a complete wavelength coverage. The purposes of these observations 
will be to study the distribution and properties of normal dust (through 
extinction determined from recombination lines), hot dust (through continuum 
emission), and of the carrier(s) of the IR emission bands at the interfaces 
between HII regions and neutral clouds, and in reflection nebulae that are 
illuminated by a fainter and softer radiation field. Combined with 
submillimeter and millimeter observations they will yield a complete picture 
of these objects including thermal balance.
OBSERVATION SUMMARY:
Imaging of selected galactic extended objects will be made with complete
CVF scans in the long-wavelength channel of ISOCAM (the full 2x85 steps).
The pixel size will be 6" and the elementary integration time 2 seconds.
The average S/N ratio will be 17 in the wavelength range 5.07 to 9.43 
micrometers and 12 from 9.03 to 16.6 micrometers for a brightness of 
1 millijansky/square arc second and the minimum total observing time
of nearly 1 hour. This is very roughly the brightness expected for the
selected reflection nebulae while the brightness is higher for
the selected HII regions.
