ABSTRACT

The results of an ISOCAM survey of the R CrA star formation region are presented. The survey was carried out in two broad-band filters, LW2 (5-8.5μm) and LW3 (12-18μm). Although it was not possible to map the densest, central region due to saturation problems, 21 sources were identified which showed mid-IR excesses. Most of these sources have not previously been recognised as YSOs (Young Stellar Objects), mainly because they are relatively faint. We find evidence for a population of very low mass stars which are probably brown dwarfs in their early contraction phases. (3 data files).
