Abstract

We present here preliminary results of the young stellar population associated with an active star-forming region Sh2-242 using multi-wavelength observational data. The cluster radius of the region is estimated as 11 arcmin from the radial density profile, using Wide-field InfraRed Camera deep K-band photometric data. Using a deep infrared photometric survey, we have classified more than 150 young stellar objects, distributed within the cluster region. A total of 36 Hα emission line objects were detected using slitless spectroscopic observations and INT Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane photometric data. The optical spectroscopic study confirms that the cluster member BD+26 980 is a massive early-type star (B0.5 V). From the spectrophotometric analysis, the distance to the massive star is estimated as 1769 ± 193 pc, confirming earlier estimations.
