IRAS11101-5829 is a high-mass YSO associated with a very luminous pair of herbig-haro objects HH135/136, located in Eastern Carina. Early works have pointed to a Herbig Ae/Be star encircled by a dust disk. Observations of molecular masers associated with this source apparently confirmed the high-mass nature. However, continuum mm observations revels a possible double core. Its powerful jets interact with the parent cloud sculpting a cavity. This morphology is very well defined in near-infrared. In this wavelenght region the polarization pattern is consistent with IRAS 11101-5829 being the exciting source. It has also been argued that the NE jet is deflected through a collision with a molecular cloud. The suggested location of the impact includes a MSX6C source and the knot HH136-E, wich is also the center of the polarization pattern in optical wavelengths. This project aims to study the high-mass star forming region containing IRAS 11101-5829 and the pair of Herbig-Haro objects, using the T-ReCS instrument in Gemini South. The high-resolution mid-infrared images will be used to disentangle a possible multiplicity of the central source and to map the cavity produced by outflow. The nature of sources as knot HH136-E and the MSX6C will be pinpointed using the spectral energy distributions (SEDs). This set of information will be very useful in providing a consistent picture of the region.
