Descripción
The results of a combined near-infrared and IRAS mapping study of five H
II regions are presented for which fairly complete information at
optical and radio wavelengths previously existed. The near-infrared
observations, carried out with the 2.1-m telescope at Observatorio de
San Pedro Martir (Mexico), made it possible to study the stellar content
at the core of each nebula, while an analysis of extended near-infrared
emission zones showed these to arise mainly from ionized gas (S148 and
S206) or through scattering and thermal emission from dust grains
surrounding a massive young star (S269-IRS2). The analysis of IRAS data,
on the other hand, suggests that two different populations of grains
contribute to the observed 12- to 100-micron fluxes, and these are
modeled with a small sized, PAH-type, grain component plus the
'standard' interstellar silicate grains.
