SALDANO, H. P. et al. The Iras 08589−4714 Star-Forming region. Rev. mex. astron. astrofis [online]. 2017, vol.53, n.1, pp.3-16. ISSN 0185-1101.

We present an analysis of the IRAS 08589−4714 star-forming region. This region harbors candidate young stellar objects identified in the WISE and Herschel images using color index criteria and spectral energy distributions (SEDs). The SEDs of some of the infrared sources and the 70 μm radial intensity profile of the brightest source are modeled using the DUSTY code. For these objects, we estimate the main parameters, which suggest that they are very young, massive and luminous objects at early stages of the formation process. We use the emission distribution in the infrared at 70 and 160 μm to estimate the dust temperature gradient. This suggests that the nearby massive starforming region RCW 38, located at ≈10pc from the IRAS source position, may be contributing to the photodissociation of the molecular gas and to the heating of the interstellar dust in the environs of the IRAS source.
