Abstract:
We have initiated an observational programme on star formation
using the 256 x 256 HgCd'Th Infrared Array Camera.(NICMOS3) at the 1.2 m m
telescope in Mt. Abu. The observations, being made in the spectral region 1-2.5
pm, involve broad/narrow ba.n.<J, imaging photometry of selected small molecular
clouds and medium resolution spectroscopy (with the grating spectrogra.ph of
NICMOS 3) of some bright young stellar objects. We have also developed a
medium resolution Fabry-Perot Imaging Spectrometer for mapping of regions
of emission in a selected emission line. We report here some of the recent results
obtained by our group.
