Descripción
Class II methanol Masers and ultracompact HII regions (UCHII) trace
regions of massive star formation. We have carried out mid-IR imaging of
a selected number of star forming complexes traced by UCHII and
methanol maser emission to determine their large scale properties. The
mid-IR images from 8 to 20 micron were obtained with the mid-IR camera
CID attached at the 2.1m telescope of the Mexican National Observatory
of S.Pedro Martir (Baja California, Mexico). Combining the near-IR
photometry taken from 2MASS and the SPITZER-IRAC data, we have derived
the infrared spectral energy distribution (SED) of the detected sources
associated with the UCHII regions. The SEDs are compared with the
spherically symmetric dust model obtained from the DUSTY code in order
to derived the physical parameters of the sources.
