Scientific paper

We have identified thousands of new Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The observations were made with the Spitzer Space Telescope as part of the SAGE Legacy project. The YSOs were selected from the SAGE point source catalog by locating regions of color-magnitude space unoccupied by known sources such as galaxies and evolved stars. Our YSO list is not complete, since those with similar colors and magnitudes to other populations are not included. However, our initial goal is to produce a list that is dominated by YSOs. The spatial distribution of the YSOs correlates with CO, H I, and especially 3 cm observations. We will show analysis of the YSOs based on radiation transfer models.
This work is based on observations made with the Spitzer Space Telescope, which is operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology under a contract with NASA. Support for this work was provided by NASA through an award issued by JPL/Caltech.
