Abstract
The extended infrared emission detected near many young stars can be used to divine the luminosity, apparent color temperature, and thermal emitting mass of the surrounding regions. The dominant dust heating mechanism appears to be ultraviolet radiation, either from stellar wind shocks or directly from hotter stars. The infrared luminosities from stellar winds of low mass stars are an appreciable fraction of the luminosities of the driving star, and the mechanical luminosity in the winds must be even higher.
