Summary
The low resolution IRAS spectra are described and a discussion of their importance is given. The survey measurements are then discussed. The relative importance of line and continuum emission in the survey measurements is evaluated. The interpretation of the continuum emission as dust radiation is considered. The energy balance is used as a probe for the source of dust heating. An evolution of the dust ‘temperature’ is shown to exist and simple interpretations are given. The gas to dust mass ratio is presented and its evolution is discussed. Finally the possibility of using the IRAS data to substantially extend the known number of planetary nebulae is examined.
