NGC 7538 IRS 1-3 and IRS 9 sources
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present deep and high-resolution (FWHM~0.4-arcsec) near-infrared (NIR) imaging observations of the NGC 7538 IRS 1-3 region (in JHK bands), and IRS 9 region (in HK bands) using the 8.2m Subaru telescope.
Description
The NIR analysis is complemented with Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) low-frequency observations at 325, 610, and 1280MHz, molecular line observations of H^13^CO^+^ (J=1-0), and archival Chandra X-ray observations.
Using the 'J-H/H-K' diagram, 144 Class II and 24 Class I young stellar object (YSO) candidates are identified in the IRS 1-3 region. Further analysis using 'K/H-K' diagram yields 145 and 96 red sources in the IRS 1-3 and IRS 9 regions, respectively. A total of 27 sources are found to have X-ray counterparts.

The YSO mass function (MF), constructed using a theoretical mass-luminosity relation, shows peaks at substellar (~0.08-0.18M_{sun}_) and intermediate (~1-1.78M_{sun}_) mass ranges for the IRS 1-3 region. The MF can be fitted by a power law in the low-mass regime with a slope of {Gamma} ~0.54-0.75, which is much shallower than the Salpeter value of 1.35. An upper limit of 10.2 is obtained for the star to brown dwarf ratio in the IRS 1-3 region.
GMRT maps show a compact HII region associated with the IRS 1-3 sources, whose spectral index of 0.87+/-0.11 suggests optical thickness. This compact region is resolved into three separate peaks in higher resolution 1280MHz map, and the 'east' subpeak coincides with the IRS 2 source. H^13^CO^+^ (J=1-0) emission reveals peaks in both IRS 1-3 and IRS 9 regions, none of which are coincident with visible nebular emission, suggesting the presence of dense cloud nearby.
The virial masses are approximately of the order of 1000 and 500M_{sun}_ for the clumps in IRS 1-3 and IRS 9 regions, respectively.
