Abstrakt

In the course of a comprehensive millimeter/submillimeter survey of

massive-star-forming regions, the vicinities of a sample of 47 luminous

IRAS sources were closely investigated with the Submillimeter

Common-User Bolometric Array and the MPIfR bolometers in order to search

for massive protostellar candidates. A particularly interesting object

has been found in the surroundings of the bright far-infrared source

IRAS 07029-1215. Follow-up line observations show that the object is

cold, has a massive envelope, and is associated with an energetic

molecular outflow. No infrared point source has been detected at its

position. Therefore, it is a very good candidate as a member of the

long-sought group of massive protostars.
