Little is known about a large number of objects that appear from the
IRAS survey to have steeply rising spectral energy spectra, and hence
very low temperatures. This project is designed to
determine the spectral energy distribution of a statistical sample of
these cold sources in order to learn more about them. The prime
objective is to measure details of the first stages of star formation,
and determine the timescales involved.  It is hoped that pure inflow
sources, with no attendant outflows, may be identified
