Description
Deep narrow-band (Brγ at 2.17μm and H_2 at 2.12μm) and broad-band (JHKs) near-infrared images are presented of the young regions Tr14-N4 and Car I. The observations were made with PANIC, attached to the Baade 6.5 m Magellan Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. These were supplemented by archive Spitzer/IRAC images. Evidence is given of an embedded young compact cluster (r=23'') of medium-to-low mass stars in Tr14-N4 but that includes at least one high mass protostar. Its properties are derived from the 1.2 to 11μm photometry. The presence of outflows is evinced by knotty H_2 emission near the edge of a cavity. We also presented updates of near-IR light-curves of Car I-136 and 125 embedded in the dark cloud associated with Car I.
