The Embedded Massive Star Forming Region RCW 38
RCW 38 is a uniquely young (<1 Myr), embedded (AV ∼ 10) stellar cluster surrounding a pair of early O stars (∼O5.5) and is one of the few regions within 2 kpc other than Orion to contain over 1000 members. X-ray and deep near-infrared observations reveal a dense cluster with over 200 X-ray sources and 400 infrared sources embedded in a diffuse hot plasma within a 1 pc diameter. The central O st...
متن کاملA Near-infrared Study of the Ngc 7538 Star-forming Region
We present subarcsecond (FWHM 0B7), near-infrared (NIR) JHKs-band images and a high-sensitivity radio continuum image at 1280 MHz, using SIRIUS on the University of Hawaii 88 inch (2.2 m) telescope and the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). The NIR survey covers an area of 24 arcmin with 10 limiting magnitudes of 19.5, 18.4, and 17.3 in the J, H, and Ks bands, respectively. Our NIR images ...
متن کاملNear - Infrared Imaging Polarimetry of the Star Forming Region NGC 2024
We conducted wide-field JHKs imaging polarimetry toward NGC 2024, which is a massive star-forming region in the Orion B cloud. We found a prominent and extended polarized nebula over NGC 2024, and constrained the location of illuminating source of the nebula through the analysis of polarization vectors. A massive star, IRS 2b with a spectral type of O8 − B2, is located in the center of the symm...
متن کاملNear-Infrared Imaging Polarimetry of the NGC 2071 Star Forming Region with SIRPOL
We have conducted deep JHKs imaging polarimetry of a ∼8 × 8 area of the NGC 2071 star forming region. Our polarization data have revealed various infrared reflection nebulae (IRNe) associated with the central IR young star cluster NGC2071IR and identified their illuminating sources. There are at least 4 IRNe in NGC2071IR and several additional IRNe are identified around nearby young stars in th...
متن کاملThe Orion Star-Forming Region
General properties of the Orion star-forming region are discussed, with a focus on the dense Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC). This cluster contains between 2500 and 4500 objects located within a few parsecs of the eponymous Trapezium stars. Its members are aged <1 to a few Myr and encompass the full spectrum of stellar masses <50 M⊙, as well as brown dwarfs detected with masses as low as <0.02 M⊙ (2...
