the objective of this supplementary discretionary time proposal is to perform isocam cvf spectro-imaging of (most of) the field in the m16 eagle nebula which we earlier mapped in lw2 and lw3. the goal is to establish the physical nature of the emission, including in a mysterious extended feature discovered in our lw3 image located near (but outside the extent of) the main elephant trunk in the hubble field in m16.

Mission Description
The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) was the world's first true orbiting infrared observatory. Equipped with four highly-sophisticated and versatile scientific instruments, it was launched by Ariane in November 1995 and provided astronomers world-wide with a facility of unprecedented sensitivity and capabilities for a detailed exploration of the Universe at infrared wavelengths.
