Near-infrared photometric and spectroscopic studies on star forming regions

Abstract

We have initiated a programme to study near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of low and high mass star forming regions and young stellar objects using the HgCdTe 256 x 256 array camera/spectrograph at the 1.2 m telescope. We describe here some of the significant results obtained under this programme on (i) a low mass T Tauri type pre-main sequence(PMS) star; (ii) an intermediate mass star forming region; and (iii) two high mass star forming regions
