Spitzer Observations of a Remarkable Star Forming Core in NGC
2264
Erick Young, University of Arizona
We present IRAC and MIPS observations of an extremely young
star forming core in the IRS-2 region of NGC 2264. The compact region
includes a remarkable collection of Class 0 and Class 1 sources, and
outflows. Molecular line observations confirm the presence of extremely
dense gas coincident with bright submillimeter continuum concentrations.
In one core, the Spitzer observations reveal a dense mini-cluster of
recently formed stars.
