J/PASP/105/1127    Distribution of Dust in Solar Neighborhood    (Gaustad+ 1993)

Abstract:
    The authors have surveyed the IRAS data base at the positions of
    the 1808 O6--B9.5 stars in The Bright Star Catalog for extended
    objects with excess emission ("hotspots") at 60 microns,
    indicating the presence of interstellar dust at the location of
    the star. The spatial distribution of the dust clouds and the
    filling factor for dust in the interstellar medium are discussed
    in Gaustad and van Buren (1993). The data included here give the
    measured infrared fluxes and radii, and the inferred absorption
    optical depths, densities, and color temperatures for the 302
    objects detected. Also included are a list of the BSC objects for
    which no data could be obtained, and a list of those hotspots
    which also show detectable reflection nebulosity.
