| Abstract : | We present a multiwavelength detailed analysis of the star-forming region NGC 2316, showing signatures of recent star formation. We have performed a deep optical/NIR photometric analysis of this region. The archival MIR/FIR/radio data has been used to study the distribution of gas(cold/warm/ionized)/dust in the region. We have found a small elongated near-infrared cluster embedded in the nebulosity of this region. This cluster hosts a couple of massive stars (B1.5V) and young stellar sources (YSOs), and is located at a distance of 1.3 kpc at the tip of a filamentary structure/dust-gas lane. Both ends of this filamentary structure/dust-gas lane host the core of YSOs. The nearby region of the cluster shows the signature of feedback from the massive star. We have studied the velocity/intensity profile of the molecular gas along the filamentary structures in the region and found evidence of two separate elongated filamentary structures interacting in the region. We have also found the longitudinal flow of matter along the network of filaments and towards the NGC 2316 cluster. Thus, the cluster might be a gravity well for the material and is a site of recent massive star formation. The filaments also show the formation of low-mass YSOs along their structure. This confirms the active role of filaments in the recent star formation in the NGC 2316 region. |
