The peculiar nebula M2-9.

The spectrum of M2-9 is analyzed and its strong infrared excess and internal motions are described. It is suggested that M2-9 is a previously unannounced member of the class of objects possessing strong Fe II emission lines in their spectra and having prominent infrared continua.

Infrared objects in H II regions.

The discovery of 2-micron emission sources in NGC 2264, IC 2087, and M1-82, and of prominent infrared emission in Lk H-alpha 198 and V376 Cas is reported. Of the 25 objects found by scanning around the H II regions, less than half would appear to be late-type stars.

The nature of Becklin's star.

The IR point source in the Orion Nebula commonly known as Becklin's star appears to be exceptional because of its extreme colors and the lack of any associated optical object. Characteristics of the spectrum of Becklin's object are examined. It is found that the spectrum is consistent with that of a highly reddened early-type supergiant, in which weak absorption has been masked by low resolution.
