G. ; Nagaraja, B. V. Abstract The galactic distribution of 2.2 micron infrared brightness derived from discrete sources exhibits higher fluxes at galactic longitudes, l = 8 deg, l = 18 deg, l = 30 deg, and l = 42 deg and shows that at these galactic longitudes, the 2.6 mm emission line of CO is strongly correlated with the 115-196 micron far-infrared brightness distribution. The dust temperatures computed for these regions show a larger value compared to the equilibrium dust temperature, indicating the presence of a local source of heating and suggests that star formation is still active at these locations in the galactic plane.
