This program will map three infrared dark-clouds (IRDCs) with IRAC and embedded massive protostars within the IRDCs with MIPS. IRDCs are large, cold, dense molecular cores with substantial mid-infrared extinction (> 1 mag from 8-25 microns). IRDCs have gas densities of 10^6 cm^-3 and temperatures of 8-15K. IRDCs contain bright submillimeter sources with molecular outflow and infall signatures. The available data suggests these sources are massive class 0 protostars. This program will measure the embedded protostellar/young stellar content of the IRDCs and measure the mid-infrared extinction curve towards these objects. A total of 73 minutes of observing time with IRAC and MIPS is required.
