The properties of IRAS point sources in the region of the “Cepheus bubble” were studied. This bubble is a possible very old supernova remnant which includes the association Cepheus OB2. A large number of sources which are probably low‐ and medium‐mass embedded stars are situated around the bubble. It is concluded that whereas high‐mass stars which have formed in the bubble are already on the main sequence, lower‐mass stars are still embedded in their parent clouds.
