Abstract

A preliminary report is presented on ground-based observations of sources discovered by the AFGL infrared sky survey. This paper contains photometric data on 104 sources and spectrophotometry of 14 sources identified in 6.0 x 4.5-arcmin raster scans around the positions reported by the AFGL. The sources originally identified in the catalog with known objects are mainly hot bright stars. Two unusual sources discovered in this program, GL 2636 and GL 4029, appear to be multiple sources. Both these objects exhibit the 3.3-micron emission feature, and GL 4029 shows several other emission features previously found in NGC 7027.
