Young Stellar Objects in the Carina nebula: Near-Infrared variability and spectroscopy

Jura Borissova, Radostin Kurtev, Josemanuel Escobar +10

We present a catalog of 652 young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Carina star-forming region. The catalog was constructed by combining near-infrared Ks-band variability from the VIST…
