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 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at 3.29 mm, a tracer of photodissociation regions (PDRs), reveals many interesting well-defined clumps and diffuse re...
