Scientific paper

The Orion Molecular Cloud Complex is the most active region of star formation within 500 pc sun, containing several sites of high mass star formation, the largest known embedded cluster in the nearest 1 kpc, and over 2000 low mass stars. As part of the IRAC and MIPS instrument team Guaranteed Time Programs, we have surveyed 7.7 sq degrees with the IRAC and MIPS instrument. Using this data, we have surveyed the cloud for young stars with disks and protostars, and have mapped the distribution of over 2000 objects. We propose to extend this map with two goals: 1.) to map the extended halo of young stars surrounding the Orion Nebula Cluster in order to constrain the dynamical evolution of this cluster, and 2.) to map relatively quiescent sub-clouds of the Orion B cloud in order to better understand the importance of triggering in this cloud.
