Abstract:
We present photometry and images (3.6, 4.5, 5.8 and 8.0um) from the
Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) of the star-forming region
Messier 8 (M8). The IRAC photometry reveals ongoing star formation in
the M8 complex, with 64 class 0/I and 168 class II sources identified
in several locations in the vicinity of submm gas cores/clumps.
Description:
The Spitzer Space Telescope IRAC observations of M8 were obtained by
the Spitzer Science Center (SSC) on 2005 September 16.
