Scientific paper

We propose a 100ks observation of the recently discovered Serpens South, a densely populated, extremely young cluster. Our Spitzer data have identified 91 young stars in the region, 54 protostars and 37 Class II YSOs. This is one of the highest protostar fractions known in a YSC. Observations of the region with Chandra will allow us to identify the diskless Class III population of the cluster. They will also provide X-ray data of previously identified YSOs, allowing us to examine X-ray properties with evolutionary class and to study the spatial distribution of YSOs within the cluster. These observations will also compliment data from our Spitzer Warm Mission Program: YSOVAR, which will provide deep, multi-epoch mid-IR data of Serpens South.
