Embedded Star Formation in the Eagle Nebula
M16=NGC 6611, the Eagle Nebula, is a well studied region of star formation and the source of a widely recognized Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image. High spatial resolution infrared observations with the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) on HST reveal the detailed morphology of two embedded star formation regions that are heavily obscured at optical wavelengths. It is ...
متن کاملStar Formation in the Eagle Nebula
M16 (the Eagle Nebula) is a striking star forming region, with a complex morphology of gas and dust sculpted by the massive stars in NGC 6611. Detailed studies of the famous “elephant trunks” dramatically increased our understanding of the massive star feedback into the parent molecular cloud. A rich young stellar population (2−3 Myr) has been identified, from massive O-stars down to substellar...
متن کاملEpisodic Star Formation in the Carina Dsph Galaxy
B, R photometry for stars in the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) that is unprecedented in depth, accuracy and spatial coverage demonstrates that it has had a surprisingly complex evolution dominated by episodic bursts of star formation. Comparing the color-magnitude diagram (CMD) with new theoretical isochrones, we determine that the ages of the \bursts" are approximately 2, 3{6, and 11{1...
متن کاملEmbedded Star Formation in the Eagle Nebula with Spitzer/glimpse
We present new Spitzer photometry of the Eagle Nebula (M16, containing the optical cluster NGC 6611) combined with near-infrared photometry from 2MASS. We use dust radiative transfer models, mid-infrared and near-infrared color-color analysis, and mid-infrared spectral indices to analyze point source spectral energy distributions, select candidate young stellar objects (YSOs), and constrain the...
متن کاملStar formation in the Trifid Nebula Cores and filaments
Aims. We aim to characterize the properties of the prestellar and protostellar condensations to understand the star formation processes at work in a young HII region Methods. We have obtained maps of the 1.25mm thermal dust emission and the molecular gas emission over a region of 20 ′ × 10 ′ around the Trifid Nebula (M20), with the IRAM 30m and the CSO telescopes as well as in the mid-infrared ...
