| Abstract: |
We have performed a near-infrared survey of 45 ``southern'' UCHII's and identified the deeply embedded, ionizing stars using VLT/ISAAC K-band spectroscopy. The (photospheric) spectra of these young massive stars allow the secure classification of their photospheric properties. As an example, we discuss the UCHII IRAS 10049-5657, which hosts a young cluster of stars. Two of the cluster members are classified as O4/O5 and O6, respectively. With this classification, the cluster ZAMS and distance is calibrated. The cluster consists of several dozen OB stars and likely is a recently formed OB association. |
