Abstract:
The second largest H II region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, N11B
(LHA 120-N 11B) has been surveyed in the near-IR. We present JHKs
images of the N11B nebula. These images are combined with CO (1->0)
emission-line data and with archival New Technology Telescope and
Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 optical images to address the star
formation activity of the region. IR photometry of all the IR sources
detected is given. We confirm that a second generation of stars is
currently forming in the N11B region. Our IR images show the presence
of several bright IR sources that appear to be located toward the
molecular cloud as seen from the CO emission in the area.
