N206 (Henize 206) is an active star-forming region ( 93.5 kpc2) located at the southern edge of the Large Magellanic Cloud, southeast of the well-known 30 Doradus complex. New Spitzer IRAC mid-infrared mosaic photometry provided as part of the Surveying the Agents of a Galaxy's Evolution (SAGE) project in combination with optical data from the Magellanic Cloud Photometric Survey (MCPS), near-infrared data from the 2-Micron All-Sky-Survey (2MASS) and the Infrared Survey Facility (IRSF), and far-infrared SAGE data from the Spitzer MIPS 24 micron band has allowed us to discover a previously unseen population of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs). Through the use of Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) analysis (Robitaille et al), which fits our data points to a grid of 200,000 model SEDs, we were able to classify 178 objects as well-characterized YSO candidates. This is a factor of 25 more than the 7 which were previously identified as probable YSOs by Whitney et al (2008).
