Multiwavelength Study of the NGC281 Region

We present a multiwavelength study of the NGC281 complex, which contains the young cluster IC1590 at the center, using deep wide-field optical UBV Ic photometry, slitless spectroscopy along with archival data sets in the near-infrared (NIR) and X-ray regions. The extent of IC1590 is estimated to be � 6.5pc. The cluster region shows a relatively small amount of differential reddening. The majority of the identified young stellar objects (YSOs) are low-mass PMS stars having age <1‐2Myr and mass 0.5‐3.5 Mˇ. The slope (Γ) of the mass function for IC1590, in the mass range 2
