The Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) has uncovered a striking cluster of young stellar objects (YSOs) associated with the L1509 dark cloud in Auriga. This group of YSOs is coincident with a dark filamentary structure in the cloud. The WISE observations, at 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 microns, show a number of objects with colors consistent with YSOs, and their spectral energy distributions indicate the presence of circumstellar emission around numerous sources. We have also obtained J, H, and K-band spectroscopy in order to constrain the spectral type and accretion activity for a number of sources. We present results for individual objects as well as aggregate characteristics for the cluster.
