Abstract:
The Red MSX Source (RMS) survey is a multi-wavelength campaign of
follow-up observations of a colour-selected sample of candidate
massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) in the galactic plane. This
survey is returning the largest well-selected sample of MYSOs to date,
while identifying other dust contaminant sources with similar
mid-infrared colours including a large number of new ultra-compact
(UC) HII regions.
To measure the far-infrared (IR) flux, which lies near the peak of the
spectral energy distribution (SED) of MYSOs and UC HII regions, so
that, together with distance information, the luminosity of these
sources can be obtained.
Description:
Less than 50% of RMS sources are associated with IRAS point sources
with detections at 60um and 100um, though the vast majority are
visible in Spitzer MIPSGAL or IRAS Galaxy Atlas (IGA) images. However,
standard aperture photometry is not appropriate for these data due to
crowding of sources and strong spatially variable far-IR background
emission in the galactic plane. A new technique using a 2-dimensional
fit to the background in an annulus around each source is therefore
used to obtain far-IR photometry for young RMS sources.
