Article Description

We present a multi-wavelength study of the region towards the GM2-4 nebula and the nearby source IRAS05373+2340. Our near-infrared H 1-0 S(1) line observations reveal various shock-excited features which are part of several bipolar outflows. We identify candidates for the driving sources of the outflows from a comparison of the multi-waveband archival data sets and spectral energy distribution (SED) modelling. The SED spectral slope () for all the protostars in the field was then compared with the visual extinction map. This comparison suggests that star formation progresses from north-east to south-west across this region. © 2011 The Authors Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society © 2011 RAS.
