AT20G compact HII region Survey: Spitzer character of the sources in the MIR Martin Cohen, University of California/Berkeley “Hyper Compact HII regions” Workshop8 September 2010
Outline • What is the relationship betweenMIR/radio? • Radio - ionized gas; MIR - PAHs in PDRs • Matched-resolution (MOST) 843MHz & (MSX) 8.3m Galactic Plane images Cohen & Green ratio: F(8.3m)/S(843MHz) • Thermal radio emission: median:25±5 • AT20G sources have at least three classes of MIR counterpart Cohen & Green 2001, MNRAS, 325, 531 Cohen et al. 2007, MNRAS, 374, 979

Samples of the AT20G UCHII regions Almost no MIR UC regions are found. Mostly small groups or pairs of compact and diffuse HII. IRAC false colours separate UC white (dust) emission from compact and diffuse yellow (PAHs) MIR/Radio = 42
