ABSTRACT
Broad-band photometry and spectrophotometry with resolution xlx 0.015 over the wavelength range 2-14 m is presented for a sample of sources in the AFCRL Infrared Sky Survey. Some of the objects discovered in this survey are shown to be stars of the conventional spectral sequence surrounded by optically thick circumstellar dust shells. Others exhibit no evidence of classical cool stellar objects and may represent various transition stages of stellar evolution. Key words: infrared objects - spectrophotometry - cool stars - circumstellar dust
