Abstract
We present a brief summary of our investigations on the properties of embedded clusters in the Rosette Molecular Cloud (RMC). Our data was obtained with FLAMINGOS -a near-infrared instrument of similar characteristics to those of EMIR- at the KPNO 2.1m facilities. These data were complemented with high critical density molecular emission maps obtained at the IRAM 30m antenna, and allow us to investigate the interaction of the Rosette clusters with their local environments previous to their emergence from the cloud. Along this report we comment on how studies like this one could be greatly improved with the use of EMIR at the GTC facilities.
