- Abstract
We describe some of our preliminary results from a near-infrared imaging study of the W3(OH) region. We compare the brightness distribution of young embedded clusters and the stars spread to the East with cluster models of different ages. Our analysis suggests that stars outside the clusters may belong to a spread population from a previous episode of formation.
