Scientific paper

The COMPLETE Survey will produce an unbiased database that will serve the star-formation research community for many years to come. COMPLETE is comprised of CoOrdinated Molecular Probe Line, Extinction and Thermal Emission observations of a small set of large star-forming regions scheduled to be extensively observed as part of the SIRTF c2d Legacy Program (Perseus, Ophiuchus and Serpens). COMPLETE is unique in its coordinated approach - prior observations of the types included in COMPLETE abound, but they only rarely fully sample any region, and no survey has ever covered a single (about 10 pc) region fully with molecular-line, extinction and dust-emission observations. COMPLETE will provide star-formation theories with statistical constraints on the temporal and spatial frequency of inward motions, outflow, cloud disruption, core formation and other key parameters. Here we present some highlights from the ``Phase 1'' COMPLETE observations and analysis, concentrating on the Perseus molecular cloud complex.
