Resumen:
We have analyzed the vicinity of the supernova remnant (SNR) W44looking for signatures of star formation processes. A molecularcloud, an HII region, and three young stellar objectcandidates, overlap the SE edge of the remnant. We confirm that W44,the molecular cloud and the HII region are located at the samedistance of ~ 2.9 kpc. We conclude that the star formation is likely tobe in a primitive stage associated with the HII rather thanwith the SNR.
