dc.description.abstractEnWe have observed NGC 6334 with NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, using the IRAC infrared imager at wavelengths of 3.6 - 8.0 microns, and NEWFIRM, a ground based near-infrared imager at wavelengths of 1.1 - 2.4 microns. NGC 6334 is a giant molecular cloud with a complex history of star formation located approximately 1.6 kpc away in the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy. NGC 6334's high cloud mass (>10^5 Mo) and bright far-infrared luminosity identify it as a local analog to the unresolved sites of star formation found in other galaxies. Observing high mass Galactic regions such as NGC 6334 will provide the missing link necessary to match empirical relations between the efficiency / rate of star formation and the global properties of the molecular cloud derived from nearby, lower mass star forming regions to results from external galaxies. Our preliminary results reveal that NGC 6334 contains several hundred Class I YSOs and several thousand Class II (older) YSOs concentrated at multiple sites of star formation across the molecular cloud complex.
