Scientific paper

High spatial resolution radio continuum and mid-infrared images of a prototypical stellar wind-blown bubble have been used to infer general properties of this class of object. In particular, I explore the spatial relationships between warm thermally emitting dust, the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons-dominated photo-dissociation region, and ionized hydrogen gas, and use these to compare with bubble evolution models. This bubble appears to be <106 years old. Candidate YSOs and the ionizing star are identified using a grid of spectral energy distribution models for YSOs and main sequence and giant stars. The location of the candidate YSOs on the rim of the H II region and the association with an infrared dark cloud suggest that several of the YSO candidates have been triggered by the expansion of the H II region.
