Description
We present near-IR (NIR) J, H and K mosaic images of the active star forming region associated with the optical reflection nebula NGC 1333. These observations cover an area of 10'x10' and are centered on the energetic outflow source SSV 13. From these data, we have obtained NIR photometry of 134 objects down to a 5{sigma} limiting K magnitude of mK=16.2 and a conservative survey completeness limit of mK=16.0. With the addition of new optical R and I band CCD photometry, and both (sub)mm line and continuum maps, we analyse and discuss the region's morphology and spatial source distribution with additional reference to existing multi-wavelength data.
