Scientific paper

We propose to image eight star-forming regions using MIPS. These data will complement existing IRAC and ground-based near-IR and optical images, as well as optical, near-IR and mm-wave spectra in these regions. While the existing data provide much information about these star-forming regions, the MIPS data are needed to identify the protostars. The targets of this proposal include eight of the nine star-forming regions with prominent infrared photodissociation regions that were imaged with IRAC during the first GTO cycle (PID201). MIPS data for the ninth region, AFGL 4029, was obtained in the cycle-2 GTO program of Allen et al. (W5). These regions, at distances of 2-3 kpc, contain hundreds of young stars, and in some cases, multiple generations of star formation. The MIPS data are especially helpful in identifying the very youngest populations, enabling a census of current star formation.
