Abstract:
In an ongoing effort to identify and study high-mass protostellar
candidates we have observed in various tracers a sample of 235 sources
selected from the IRAS Point Source Catalog (Cat. II/125), mostly
with delta←30°, with the SEST antenna at millimeter wavelengths.
The sample contains 142 Low sources and 93 High, which are believed to
be in different evolutionary stages. Both sub-samples have been
studied in detail by comparing their physical properties and
morphologies.
Description:
The 1.2-mm continuum observations were carried out with the 37-channel
bolometer array SIMBA (SEST Imaging Bolometer Array) at the SEST
(Swedish-ESO Submillimetre Telescope), on July 16-20, 2002 and July
9-13, 2003.
