Abstract
We present here 50 and 90 µm maps with spatial resolution of 26″ and 33″, respectively, of the Arched Filaments. From these we calculate a total luminosity of 1.2 × 108L⊙ for the region mapped, and a luminosity of 3.4 × 107L⊙ for the filaments themselves. A dust temperature map of the region, constructed from the far-infrared data, shows that the dust temperature is constant along the filaments, although somewhat clumpy, ranging from 45 to 55 K. Between the filaments the dust temperature drops to 40 K.
