Abstract
The infrared spectrum of the young disk star V1331 Cygni shows rare atomic emission lines from several species including C i, O i, Na i, Mg i, Al i, Si i, Ca i, Fe i, and probably S i. The presence of H i emission but the absence of N i recombination lines indicates excitation by a comparatively cool source unable to ionize nitrogen. Measurements of both the fundamental and first overtone emission of carbon monoxide indicate a hot (T ≈ 3000 K), optically thick (optical depth ≈100 in the strongest transitions of the fundamental) for the molecular gas.
