We report on FIR measurements of the dust component towards LVC 88+36–2, a dense neutral filament in the Local Hot Bubble. The measurements were performed with ISOPHOT, the photometer on-board ESA’s Infrared Space Observatory ISO. The dust temperature derived is about 18 K and stays constant across the filament. Limb brightening at 60μm is measured in agreement with cirrus clouds not located in the Local Hot Bubble. No evidence for an increased UV radiation field along the boundaries of the cloud is found.
