Scientific paper

We propose to survey the entire 2.5°×2.5° of Carina OB1, the premier massive star forming region in the southern sky, for globules, clusters, jets, and young stars with near-IR images from NEWFIRM. Deep JHK images will provide a census of the protostellar disks and clusters in the area, while the H_2 images reveal jets and outflows. The H_2 observations will also clarify how winds and ultraviolet radiation from massive stars destroy globules and their remnant molecular clouds, a process our team is studying with scaled laboratory experiments. The proposed survey will be the first to fully cover this spectacular area of star formation in the near-infrared, and will show how the different clusters, flows, globules, and massive stars within this complex region relate to one another.
