We have undertaken a systematic study to identify a sample of massive protostellar candidates. We have now started a pilot program to observe these objects by means of millimeter interferometry.
The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope has been used to obtain submillimeter and millimeter continuum photometry of a sample of 30 IRAS sources previously studied in molecular lines and centimeter radio continuum. All the sources have IRAS colours typical of very young stellar objects (YSOs) and are associated with dense gas.
The last few years have seen a rapid growth in observations aimed at identifying intermediate and high-mass star forming sites in a wide range of evolutionary stages ranging from Hot Cores to ultracompact regions, to proto-Ae/Be stars.
