Descripción
Preliminary results of a broad (JHK) and narrow band imaging study of
the dark cloud/photodissociation region Car I are presented. The images
include [SII], [SIII], [OII], Hα Hβ and Brγ as well
H2 lines, spanning from the blue to the mid-infrared.
Filamentary molecular hydrogen emission is seen arising from large areas
of the cloud, clearly displaced from the atomic gas emission as
predicted by photodissociation theories. A few H2 and [SII]
emission knots were found, probably caused by internal shocks. One set
of knots is likely a jet driven by an embedded young stellar object.
Several stars with near-infrared excess and with Brγ line emission
are located within and in the outskirts of the cloud.
