| Abstract: |
The core NGC 6334 I has proven to be extremely rich in terms of molecular line emission (e.g. Bachiller & Cernicharo 1990) with its multifaceted chemistry being driven by the young stellar cluster emerging from it. In contrast, NGC 6334 I(N) is a much younger object, which has recently been found to contain at least one (proto)star (Megeath & Tieftrunk 1999) and is likely to be in the earliest stages of forming an entire cluster of stars. To study the molecular composition of evolved versus ``embryonic'' cores in detail, a comprehensive spectral line survey towards both sources has been performed employing the Swedish-ESO Submillimeter Telescope, SEST. |
