Observations of Star-Forming Regions with the Midcourse Space Experiment We have imaged seven nearby star-forming regions, the Rosette Nebula,the Orion Nebula, W3, the Pleiades, G300.2-16.8, S263, and G159.6-18.5,with the Spatial Infrared Imaging Telescope on the Midcourse SpaceExperiment (MSX) satellite at 18" resolution at 8.3, 12.1, 14.7, and21.3 μm. The large angular scale of the regions imaged (~7.2-50deg2) makes these data unique in terms of the combination ofsize and resolution. In addition to the star-forming regions, twocirrus-free fields (MSXBG 160 and MSXBG 161) and a field near the southGalactic pole (MSXBG 239) were also imaged. Point sources have beenextracted from each region, resulting in the identification over 500 newsources (i.e., no identified counterparts at other wavelengths), as wellas over 1300 with prior identifications. The extended emission from thestar-forming regions is described, and prominent structures areidentified, particularly in W3 and Orion. The Rosette Nebula isdiscussed in detail. The bulk of the mid-infrared emission is consistentwith that of photon-dominated regions, including the elephant trunkcomplex. The central clump, however, and a line of site toward thenorthern edge of the cavity show significantly redder colors than therest of the Rosette complex.

| Radial velocity measurements in the Pleiades High-resolution radial velocities for 71 stars of both early and latespectral types in the Pleiades cluster have been obtained in order toinvestigate the possibility of establishing an early-type star velocitysystem by bootstrapping late-type velocity standards to early-type onesin young clusters. It is shown that in the absence of early-typevelocity standards the velocity scale of the early-type spectra in thecluster can be tied into the IAU velocity system by examining thevelocity distributions of both the early-type and the late-type stars,since the internal velocity dispersion in an open cluster is less thanabout 1 km/s. It is found that the cluster velocity of the Pleiades is6.0 km/s, with an observed velocity dispersion of 1 km/s. Based on thesevelocity results, a list of potentially constant velocity B and A starsis proposed for further studies to confirm the constancy of theirvelocities.

| The Pleiades cluster. III - Polarization, reddening, and the unusual distribution of interstellar matter A polarization survey of Pleiades cluster members and nonmembers hasbeen carried out together with a determination of interstellar reddeningfor cluster members. The ISM in front of and inside the cluster leads tovariable polarization and reddening across the cluster. The optical datacorrelate well with available radio and millimeter features. Twodistinct ISM concentrations are isolated: (1) a uniform foreground sheetin front of the whole cluster which is seen as constant reddening andpolarization in the eastern part of the cluster; and (2) additionalintracluster material, located mainly in the western part of thecluster.
| Spectral classification and photometry of selected Pleiades stars New spectral classifications and UBV photometry of faint stars in thePleiades cluster are presented. These show that the relatively highreddening of HD 23512 is shared by the other cluster members in theSouthwest of the cluster. For the cluster members studied in other partsof the cluster, reddening values are normal.
