NGC 3603 or the galaxy farm: forming stars or feeding pigs?

We present observations of non-stellar emission objects in the field of the ionizing cluster NGC 3603. Spectroscopic and Photometric observations are used to analyze the physical properties of these intriguing objects. They are globules, about 0.1 pc in diameter, with high electronic density, which...
