In both cases previous high spatial resolution observations show the existence of gas clumps and cool dust condensations. Sometimes these are related to compact IR sources. Dependent on the launch date, we propose to measure the spectral flux distributions of deeply embedded pre-main sequence stars and presumably protostellar condensations either in M17SW or in Mon R2. Because the energy distributions of our targets peak at or beyond 100 microns ISO is especially suited to supplement available submm/mm fluxes and derive broad-band flux distributions for these examples of very early stellar evolutionary phases. OBSERVATION SUMMARY M17SW: From IPAC maps and submm/mm observations by the Bonn MPIfR Bolometer group, we selected two pre-main sequence stars and two protostellar condensations. We propose to scan at the positions of the protostellar condensations with PHT-C100 (filters: 60 and 100 microns) and PHT-C200 (filters: 120, 160, and 200 microns) (AOT P32: Oversampling factor = 1, 5 raster positions per scan, integration time per raster position : 13 sec (C_100) and 10 sec (C_200) ). Furthermore, the PMS objects as well as the condensations should be observed in the single-pointing multi- filter mode with PHT-P and filters 3.6, 4.85, 7.7, 11.5, 25, 60, and 100 microns (AOT P03). Mon R2: We propose to scan at the position of Mon R2-IRS1 with PHT-C200 and filters 120, 160, 180, and 200 microns (AOT P32: as above). Furthermore, we want to get single-pointing multi-filter observations with PHT-P and different diaphragms at wavelengths 3.6, 4.85, 7.7, 11.5, 25, 60, and 100 microns (AOT P03). In addition we will use PHT-P and AOT P03 to observe an isolated dust clump at 25 and 60 microns. <=== scientific_justification ===> Time distribution for autumn launch targets: Team top 40% second 30% last 30% PHT: 0 6420 0 Time distribution for spring launch targets: Team top 40% second 30% last 30% PHT: 0 4917 0 <=== autumn_launch_targets ===> 1, "PHT03", 2.0, "N", "IRAS 18176-1617 ", 18.29456, -16.28583, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 474, 2 2, "PHT32", 2.0, "N", "IRAS 18176-1617-C100 ", 18.29456, -16.28583, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 492, 3 3, "PHT32", 2.0, "N", "IRAS 18176-1617-C200 ", 18.29456, -16.28583, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 451, 0 4, "PHT03", 2.0, "N", "IRAS 18174-1612 ", 18.28978, -16.21167, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 474, 5 5, "PHT32", 2.0, "N", "IRAS 18174-1612-C100 ", 18.28978, -16.21167, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 492, 6 6, "PHT32", 2.0, "N", "IRAS 18174-1612-C200 ", 18.28978, -16.21167, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 451, 0 7, "PHT03", 2.0, "N", "M17_1 ", 18.29114, -16.23333, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 850, 8 8, "PHT32", 2.0, "N", "M17_1-C100 ", 18.29114, -16.23333, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 492, 9 9, "PHT32", 2.0, "N", "M17_1-C200 ", 18.29114, -16.23333, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 451, 0 10, "PHT03", 2.0, "N", "M17_2 ", 18.29639, -16.18333, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 850, 11 11, "PHT32", 2.0, "N", "M17_2-C100 ", 18.29639, -16.18333, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 492, 12 12, "PHT32", 2.0, "N", "M17_2-C200 ", 18.29639, -16.18333, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 451, 0 <=== spring_launch_targets ===> 1, "PHT32", 2.0, "N", "Mon-IRS1-C200 ", 6.08861, -6.37722, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 597, 0 2, "PHT03", 2.0, "N", "Mon-IRS1 ", 6.08861, -6.37722, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 470, 0 3, "PHT03", 2.0, "N", "Mon-IRS2 ", 6.08861, -6.37333, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 450, 0 4, "PHT03", 2.0, "N", "Mon-IRS3 ", 6.08917, -6.37389, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 450, 0 5, "PHT03", 2.0, "N", "Mon-IRS4 ", 6.08833, -6.38222, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 990, 0 6, "PHT03", 2.0, "N", "Mon-IRSd ", 6.08806, -6.37667, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 990, 0 7, "PHT03", 2.0, "N", "Mon_7 ", 6.08917, -6.36194, 1950, 0.000, 0.000, 970, 0
