Descripción
We have investigated the stellar and interstellar content of the distant star formation region IRAS 17591-2228 (WISE H II region GAL 007.47+0.06). It is associated with a water maser, whose parallax distance is $d={20.4}_{-2.2}^{+2.8}$ kpc, supported by independent measurements of proper motion and radial velocity. It is projected in the same direction as an extremely red (J-KS ∼ 6 mag) group of stars, and a shell of mid-infrared emission. We qualify the group of stars as a cluster candidate, VVV CL177. Its radius spans between 0'45 and 1' and contains at least two young stellar objects with an extreme extinction near ${A}_{{\rm{V}}}\sim 40$ mag. Yet more analysis will be required to determine if it is a real single cluster associated with the water maser. The 13CO emissions at the radial velocity of the maser corresponds to the mid-infrared emission. * Refers As VVV CL177.

Propiedades Físicas y Evolución de Estrellas Masivas
Las estrellas masivas son objetos claves para la Astrofísica. Estas estrellas nacen con más de 8 masas solares, lo que las condena a morir como Supernovas. Durante su rápida evolución liberan, a través de fuertes vientos estelares, gran cantidad de material procesado en su núcleo y, en determinadas fases evolutivas, emiten gran cantidad de
