Observations of IC 1396A. Grayscale background image: Herschel/PACS 70 μm. Orange contours: NIKA 1.3 mm data (15 contours, starting at 3σ = 0.007 Jy beam⁻¹ up to 0.3 Jy beam⁻¹ in log scale). Brown contours: NIKA 2 mm data (15 contours, starting at 3σ = 0.003 Jy beam⁻¹ up to 0.14 Jybeam⁻¹ in log scale). The rms increases toward the edges of the field. The field observed with EMIR is marked with a pink dashed box. Known young objects are marked as green stars (detected in the optical; Sicilia-Aguilar et al. 2004, 2005a, 2013; Barentsen et al. 2011), magenta stars (detected in the IR; Reach et al. 2004; Sicilia-Aguilar et al. 2006a; Morales-Calderón et al. 2009), and blue inverted triangles (X-ray detections; Getman et al. 2012). The Class 0 source, marked with a black square, is located in the coolest and densest part of the globule. V 390 Cep is marked with a red circle. The protostar α (Reach et al. 2004) is also labeled. The beams for 1.3, 2, and 3 mm are shown in the lower left corner.
