| Description |
We propose to use the three instrument on board Herschel to carry out a
comprehensice study of the star forming region IRAS23385+6053.
The region is a well-known template to host an intermediate-high
mass young stellar object possibly on the verge of reaching the ZAMS.
This massive YSO, detected as a strong peak in the millimeter but
unrevealed below 20um, is surrounded by a population of lower mass
objects of both intermediate and low mass in different evolutionary
stages, and offer ideal conditions to map the star formation history
in a typical region. We will determine accurate Spectral Energy
Distributions and luminosities for all the compact objects, and
will also ascertain if the region is at the crossroads of intense filamentary
structure. Spectral maps with PACS will be obtained in [OI] and [CII], and
together with other tracers from the SPIRE FTS spectral range we will be
in the ideal conditions to obtain a fairly comprehensive and definitive
view of the FUV irradiation conditions in the region. This will provide
definitive conclusions regarding the evolutionary stage of the different
YOSs in the region, enabling to draw a plausible star formation history. |
