We present accurate positions and near infrared photometry (Table I) of 11 point-like objects in the neighbourhood of GGD objects obtained on the 1.55 m and on the 1.23 m in Teide Obs. and Calar Alto Obs. respectively, in Spain. Several of the near infrared sources are directly associated with the GGD nebulae and/or are candidate for their excitation. In addition some of them seem to be the near infrared counterparts of IRAS sources. We believe, on the basis of their infrared excess, far infrared emission (IRAS), association with nebulosity, coincidence with H2O masers or the fact that in most cases the observed luminosities are higher than those expected for main sequence stars, that most of them (9/12) are young stars embedded in the dark clouds which contain the GGD objects. The loci of the detected sources in an (H-K,K-L) infrared two-colour diagram is the same as that obtained for known pre-main sequence stars, such as T Tauris and Herbig Ae-Be stars, indicating the presence of dust shells with temperatures in the range 800–1500 K. The observed range in luminosity, 10–4600 L⊙, added to other different characteristics found between them, such' as the presence, or absence, of H2O masers, indicates the interest for a detailed study of the infrared sources and related GGD nebulae.

The four clumpy irregular galaxies Mkr 8, 296,297 and 325 have been observed by IRAS. All galaxies have been detected in at least two of the four detector bands. The ratios of the 100 to 60-m flux densities are comparable to those of HII regions or violently star forming galaxies. The average star formation rate in clumpy irregular galaxies is of the order of a few solar masses per year (based on their average far-infrared luminosity and a Hubble constant of 75 km s−1 Mpc−1.

Abstract We present extensive observations of the Carina arm region in the 2.6 mm CO (J = 1−0) emission with the NANTEN telescope in Chile. The observations have revealed 120 molecular clouds which are distributed in an area of 283° < l < 293° and 2° .5 < b < 10°. Because of its vertical elongation to the galactic plane, the clouds are named the Carina flare. H I and far-infrared emission show a cavity-like distribution corresponding to the molecular clouds, and soft X-ray emission appears to fill this cavity. It is shown that the Carina flare represents a supershell at a distance of a few kpc that has been produced by about 20 supernova explosions, or equivalent stellar winds of OB stars, over the last ∼ 2×107 yr. The supershell consisting of molecular and atomic neutral gas involves a total mass and kinetic energy of ≳ 3×105M⊙ and ≳ 3×1050 erg, respectively, and the originally injected energy required is about 100-times this current kinetic energy in the shell. It is unique among supershells known previously because of the following aspects: i) it exhibits evidence for the triggered formation of intermediate-to-high-mass stars and massive molecular clouds of 102 − 104M⊙, and ii) the massive molecular clouds formed are located unusually far above the galactic plane at z ∼ 100–500 pc.
