the measurement of precise mid-ir spectra is one of the best ways of studying the distribution and temperature of circumstellar material around young stars. we propose to obtain for the first time continuous 5-16.5 micron low resolution imaging spectroscopy of young stars in dense clusters with cam+cvf. in some clusters spectra of more than 11 sources will be obtained simultaneously, allowing a detailed comparison of sources within and between clusters. by comparing the different low resolution spectra, and constructing numerical models of disk emission we hope to elucidate the physical differences between the circumstellar material around ysos, and examine evolutionary effects from cluster to cluster.

Mission Description
The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) was the world's first true orbiting infrared observatory. Equipped with four highly-sophisticated and versatile scientific instruments, it was launched by Ariane in November 1995 and provided astronomers world-wide with a facility of unprecedented sensitivity and capabilities for a detailed exploration of the Universe at infrared wavelengths.
