Abstract. We analyze the distribution of the young sources and interstellar matter in the environs of the mid-infrared (MIR) bubble coincides with the &hii; region Sh 2-90. Our study is based on the radio continuum mapping at 1280 MHz, along with Spitzer-IRAC and near-infrared (NIR) data. We performed the photometric analysis at NIR-MIR bands to assess the likely stellar candidates with disk and envelope using colour-colour (CC) diagrams. The morphology suggests a 8 μm void at the center of the $hii region. However, we see roughly circular shell of 8 μm emission enclosing the ionized gas seen in 1280 MHz, indicating void is probably originated due to the energy input from a massive source. Our study shows that the massive star is possibly a O9-B0 type. From the photometric analyses, we find a group of young stellar objects (YSOs) at the border of the bubble. Our preliminary analysis suggets that Sh2-90 shows signature for a possible site of triggered star formation.
