We have asked a number of researchers to compile their lists of the top 10 problems in the field of massive stars. This paper is a compilation of these lists. We attempted to survey observers and theorists and those studying all evolutionary stages in the lives of massive stars. Each list reflects the proposer's personal point of view, but hopefully, this compilation will motivate new young astronomers and begin a new series of discussion.
We present the results of high-resolution mid-infrared observations of the source NGC 3576 IRS 1. Near diffraction-limited images were taken at the Gemini South Observatory through OSCIR's filters N, 7.9, 9.8, 12.5 and IHW18. The source IRS 1 was resolved into 3 sources for the first time at mid-infrared wavelengths. For each source we constructed the SED from 1.25 to 18 microns, as well the color temperature and the spatial distribution of the dust in the region. The optical depth of the silicate absorption feature at 9.8 microns is presented also.
