Scientific paper

The Great Nebula in Carina is a superb site to study the violent massive star formation and feedback that typifies giant HII regions and starburst galaxies. We propose to map the Carina star-forming complex with a mosaic of 20 new 60-ks ACIS-I pointings as a testbed for understanding recent and ongoing star formation and to probe its regions of bright diffuse X-ray emission. We will provide a catalog of multiwavelength properties of ~12,000 X-ray-selected stars. We will explore superbubble confinement, shocks, cloud evaporation, mass-loading of winds, ISM enrichment, and HII region energetics. We will also examine Carina as a surrogate environment for our Solar System's formation, where protoplanetary disks are bathed in harsh winds and radiation from nearby massive stars.
