We mapped the NGC6357 star forming region at 450 and 850 micron with SCUBA-2 and in the CO(3-2) line with HARP at the JCMT. We also retrieved Herschel Hi-GAL data at 70 and 160 micron. The submm continuum emission was decomposed into cores with the algorithm Gaussclumps (Stutzki & Guesten, 1990ApJ...356..513S). By fitting greybodies to the core 4-point SEDs we derived their temperature and mass. Core mass functions were derived in the region more exposed to the FUV flux from massive stars (associated with the HII regions G353.2+0.9, G353.1+0.6, and G353.2+0.7) and in the region less exposed. Table 2 lists the physical properties of the cores in NGC6357.
