The IRAS satellite provided the first uniform survey of embedded young stars in the Taurus star-forming region. To better characterize the embedded population we present data for the brightest far-infrared objects from the 43 square degree Spitzer Taurus Survey, comprising a sample of sixty-five sources brighter than 0.57 Jy at the 70 micron wavelength. Combined with companion data from SDSS, CFHT, and the XEST Optical Monitor the wavelength coverage spans from 0.29 to 160 microns. As identified from SIMBAD the sample composition is 69% young stellar objects, 12% galaxies, 9% stars, and 9% miscellaneous objects. The sample includes all known and suggested class 0 and I objects in this region prior to Spitzer. We present spectral energy distributions and revise the classifications of several objects.
The Spitzer Space Telescope is operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology under a contract with NASA.
