IRAS observations of two early-type pre-main-sequence stars in the association Chamaeleon I

The most massive stars in the Chamaeleon I dark cloud, HD 97048 (A0 pe) and HD 97300 (A0 V), both associated with prominent reflection nebulae, were observed by IRAS at 50 and 100 μm, with 1arcmin.2 resolution. Both stars show large far-infrared fluxes from circumstellar dust and material in the reflection nebulae. At least one other source is embedded within the Cha I cloud close to HD 97300.
