AbstractThe utility of near-infrared, spectroscopic studies of central ionizing sources of UC HII regions is presented, in conjunction with a recently available, sophisticated atmospheric code, to constrain the physical conditions and environment of very massive stars at extremely early stages of evolution.

Near-infrared, spectroscopic studies of central ionizing sources of very young H ii regions is presented in conjunction with a recently available, sophisticated atmospheric code to constrain the physical conditions and environment of very massive stars at very early stages of evolution. Combining high quality near-infrared spectroscopy of very young massive stars with model atmosphere calculations should allow for the most accurate quantitative determination of Teff, rotation, L, and log g, and to search for binaries and possible disk or in-fall signatures in forming or recently formed massive stars. These characteristics make up a vital boundary condition constraining theories on massive star formation.

Near infrared (NIR) reflectance spectra of wheat flour, dried extrudates and bread crumb over the range 1350–1650 nm exhibit similar features which provide information about the changes in starch structure which take place during their processing or aging. It is postulated that the observed spectral features are related to changes in the states of hydrogen bonding of O–H bonds in starch and water.
