Millimetre spectroscopic ob servations of the sources were performed, at the Yebes Observatory and at the Onsala Space Observatory, using the CO (J=1−0), 13CO (J=1−0), CS (J=1−0), and CS (J=2−1) line tran sitions. The data were reduced using the CLASS software to obtain the parameters of the lines. Emission of CO (J=1−0), 13CO (J=1−0), CS (J=1−0) and CS (J=2−1) has been detected toward the sources, confirming the existence of dense gas cores. Contour maps of the sources were made for the integrated intensity of the CS (J=1−0), CO (J=1−0), and 13CO (J=1−0) lines, and the physical parameters of the cores were derived. The cores had masses ranging from 10 to 1000 M . Near-infrared observations of the source IRAS00544+5609 were performed, at the La Palma observatory, at the J, H and Ks bands. The data were reduced using the IRAF software to obtain mosaics of the region in the direction of the source. Apperture photometry was used to obtain a list of magnitudes of the stars in the mosaics. Star density maps show a density peak overlapping the peaks of the millimetre maps, suggesting the presence of an embedded cluster within the gas core. A color-color diagram of the cluster members shows a significant number of stars with infrared excess. To acquire information pertaining to the dust content of the clouds, sub-millimetre images of the sources were retrieved from the Herschel space observatory archive. The images show strong emission in the direction of the sources, indicating the presence of great amounts of dust.porNuvens molecularesEnxames estelaresFormação de estrelasMilímetroInfravermelhoTeses de mestrado - 2022master thesis203218094
