Photodissociation regions and star formation in the Carina Nebula
We have obtained wide-field thermal infrared (IR) images of the Carina Nebula, using the SPIREX/Abu telescope at the South Pole. Emission from poly-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at 3.29µm, a tracer of photodissociation regions (PDRs), reveals many interesting well defined clumps and diffuse re...
