We have examined the IRAS 60 and 100 μm survey data covering 512 evolved stars and young planetary nebulae for evidence of spatially resolved structure. A simple model, consisting of a central unresolved source surrounded by a resolved isothermal shell, was fitted to the data for each star. Seventy-six stars were found to be resolved in the 60 μm data. Tests have been performed to verify that the extended structure seen is not an artifact of the data-processing algorithm.
