We present a study of nine embedded clusters (ECs) reported in recent literature with ages less than 5 Myr and vertical distances from the galactic disc ranging from 1.8 to 5 kpc. We use 2MASS, WISE, Denis, IRAS to study the clusters and the larger areas surrounding these clusters to classify the YSOs and study the progress of star formation in them. We shall explore the possibility of them having formed by the galactic chimmney effect or due to extragalactic processes. Two of these objects will be observed with Astrosat as our proposal has been accepted, so we shall comment on the possible results we expect to get with Astrostat UV and Xray data. |
