The Gould's Belt Survey is a Spitzer Legacy project to complete the census of star formation in molecular clouds within 500 pc of the sun.
Imaging observations with IRAC and MIPS will provide the crucial data shortward of 200 microns to match the data from large projects planned with SCUBA-2 on the JCMT (450 and 850 microns) and SPIRE (200 to 500 microns) on Herschel.
Together with the clouds surveyed by the Cores to Disks (c2d) Spitzer Legacy program and clouds studied by GTO/GO programs, these observations will complete the census of star formation regions within 500 pc. The Spitzer data is being processed through the c2d pipeline to produce a uniform, complete, and unbiased database for studies of local star formation. In this poster we present some preliminary results based on data acquired thus far.
