Scientific paper

A small cluster of obscured, young stars has been discovered around R Corona Austrina. The infrared colours of these stars are consistent with their being recently-formed pre-main-sequence stars. This discovery removes a long-standing anomaly whereby the R CrA region, despite having all the other features of a star formation region, appeared to contain very few young stars. The authors suggest the name "Coronet" for this new cluster.
