Abstract:The Carina Nebula Complex (CNC) is one of the most massive and active star forming regions in our Galaxy and contains several large young star clusters. The distances of the individual clusters and their physical connection was only poorly known up to now, with strongly discrepant results reported in the literature. We want to determine reliable distances of the young stellar clusters in the central Carina Nebula region (in particular Tr 14, 15, and 16) and the prominent clusters NGC 3324 and NGC 3293 in the north-western periphery of the CNC.
