Scientific paper

The results of a near-IR survey of the NGC 6334 massive H II region/molecular cloud region are presented. No widespread population of embedded stars is found in the cloud within the sensitivity limit. Three new possible premain-sequence objects are found. The mapping of near-IR extended emission is shown to be invaluable in pinpointing obscured H II regions. The locations of the youngest objects in NGC 6334 relative to evolved high-mass objects and H II regions show a likely causal link involving stellar winds or ionizing radiation, in the initiation of star formation.
