چکیده

W51A is the most active star formation region of Giant \ion{H}{2} W51. It harbors two massive proto-clusters W51e and W51\,IRS2, which are very rare in Galaxy. We aim to identify new born stars UCHII regions derive its distance age. performed IFU observations with NIFS+ALTAIR nine targets sub-region. The modulus was obtained using spectral classification $K$-band a reddening law appropriate inner Galactic plane. derived types for five them, ranging from O8 O9.5, similar those radio continuum data, except sources that we assigned somewhat later type. included another seven objects precise other works, allowed us better constrain estimate. Our spectrophotometric d=4.80\,$\pm$\,1.27\,kpc good agreement rotation model trigonometric parallaxes, placing near tangent point Sagittarius arm. conclude studied this work have an age spread 1.5-4 Myr, substantially older than thought date.

Near and Mid Infrared Observations of Ultracompact HII Regions

This review discusses nearand midinfrared observations of Ultracompact (UC) HII regions. The importance of ISO mid-IR fine-structure nebular lines is emphasised, since only a small fraction of UCHII regions are observed directly in the near-IR. The reliability of contemporary atmospheric models for such indirect diagnostics is discussed, whilst a revised spectral type-temperature calibration is...

Near Infrared Spectroscopy of G29.96−0.02: The First Spectral Classification of the Ionizing Star of an Ultracompact H II Region

We have obtained the first classification spectrum and present the first direct spectral classification of the ionizing star of an ultracompact H II region. The ultracompact H II region is G29.96−0.02, a well-studied object with roughly twice solar metallicity. The near infrared K-band spectrum of the ionizing star exhibits C IV and N III emission and He II absorption, but lines of H I and He I...

MSX Mid Infrared Imaging of Massive Star Birth Environments. I: Ultracompact H ii Regions

We present mid-IR 21μm images of a sample of radio selected Ultracompact H ii (UCH ii) regions, obtained with the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX). All, with one possible exception, are detected at mid-IR wavelengths, sampling the warm dust emission of the cocoons of the OB star central exciting sources. Many of the UCH ii regions have nearby (up to ≈ few pc distant) companion dust emission sou...

UNDERSTANDING SPATIAL AND SPECTRAL MORPHOLOGIES OF ULTRACOMPACT H ii REGIONS

The spatial morphology, spectral characteristics, and time variability of ultracompact H ii regions provide strong constraints on the process of massive star formation. We have performed simulations of the gravitational collapse of rotating molecular cloud cores, including treatments of the propagation of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. We here present synthetic radio continuum observation...
