Using the {\\it Herschel} data analysis, at least six massive clumps (M$_{clump}$ $\\sim$777 -- 7024 M$_{\\odot}$) are found in the EFS with a range of temperature and column density of $\\sim$16--39~K and $\\sim$0.6--11~$\\times$~10$^{22}$ cm$^{-2}$ (A$_{V}$ $\\sim$7--117 mag), respectively. The EFS hosts cold gas regions (i.e. infrared dark cloud) without any radio detection and a bipolar nebula (BN) linked with the H\\,{\\sc ii} region IRAS 17599$-$2148, tracing two distinct environments inferred through the temperature distribution and ionized emission. Based on virial analysis and higher values of self-gravitating pressure, the clumps are found unstable against gravitational collapse. We find 474 young stellar objects (YSOs) in the selected region and $\\sim$72\\% of these YSOs are found in the clusters distributed mainly toward the clumps in the EFS. These YSOs might have spontaneously formed due to processes not related to the expanding H\\,{\\sc ii} region. At the edges of BN, four additional clumps are also associated with YSOs clusters, which appear to be influenced by the expanding H\\,{\\sc ii} region. The most massive clump in the EFS contains two compact radio sources traced in the GMRT 1.28 GHz map and a massive protostar candidate, IRS~1 prior to an ultracompact H\\,{\\sc ii} phase. Using the VLT/NACO near-infrared images, IRS~1 is resolved with a jet-like feature within a 4200~AU scale.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-10-27T04:13:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "infrared dark cloud", "bipolar nebula", "physical environment", "efs hosts cold gas regions", "compact radio sources" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
