Scientific paper

The Spitzer Young Stellar Object variability (YSOVAR) project is currently underway and to date has obtained well-sampled light curves for several star forming regions, including fields in Orion, IC 1396, Mon R2, NGC 2264, Ceph-C, L1688, IRAS 20050+2720, and GGD 12-15. The survey will eventually contain data for over 2000 YSOs, and will allow us to place constraints on the structure of the inner disks, measure the stability of hot spots on the surfaces of YSOs over a range of evolutionary stages, and determine rotational periods for a large sample of objects. As part of this project, we have obtained contemporaneous near-infrared (JHK) photometry of the fields using the PAIRITEL telescope. We have continued the near-IR monitoring to assess the stability of the YSOs over longer periods. We will present initial results from the PAIRITEL observations, including a comparison of the JHK and IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 micron variability, and the long-term behavior of the YSOs.
