Description
The formation of high-mass stars remains an enigmatic process. Through a multi-wavelength study of G12.42+0.50, designated as an outflow source, we probe the various associated components that shed crucial light on the processes involved in the early phases of massive star formation. We present the first low-frequency radio observations of this source and attempt to reveal the nature of this source and the radiation mechanism responsible for the radio emission. Near-infrared spectroscopy is carried out to identify the spectral carriers responsible for the enhanced 4.5 micron emission seen. Further, gas kinematics from molecular line data is investigated to build an overall star formation scenario associated with G12.42+0.50.
