Descripción
We obtained deep broad-band JHKs and narrow-band
H2 and Brγ images of the northern part of the giant
molecular cloud NGC 6334 containing three distinct centers of star
formation (NGC 6334IN, E, and F), probably at different evolutionary
stages. Preliminary results, including mid-IR images at 9.8 and 11.9
μm of the shell-shaped HII region NGC 6334E, are presented. An
embedded young stellar cluster composed mainly by intermediate-mass
stars (earlier than B3-B4) and by low-mass stars has been found within
the boundaries of the HII region. At the center of the region we
detected a Class I young stellar object with an infrared luminosity of
~8 Lsolar.
