Abstract:
The Carina Nebula is one of the most massive and active star-forming
regions in our Galaxy and has been studied with numerous
multiwavelength observations in the past five years. However, most of
these studies were restricted to the inner parts (≤1 square-degree)
of the nebula, and thus covered only a small fraction of the whole
cloud complex.
Our aim was to conduct a near-infrared survey that covers the full
spatial extent (∼5 square-degrees) of the Carina Nebula complex and is
sensitive enough to detect all associated young stars through
extinctions of up to AV≈6mag.
We used the 4m Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy
(VISTA) of ESO to map an area of 6.7 square-degrees around the Carina
Nebula in the near-infrared J-, H-, Ks-bands.
