Scientific paper

We present preliminary results from our Spitzer surveys of the active star-forming molecular clouds Cepheus OB3 and Monoceros R2. These clouds each have several clusters of forming young stellar objects, but the extent of lower number density star formation in these clouds has been largely unknown. With Spitzer, we have the sensitivity to efficiently survey these clouds, confidently detecting and classifying most young stellar objects forming there. With these data, we can now examine in detail distributed star formation within these clouds and compare it to the high density environments of their embedded clusters.
