Scientific paper

We propose mapping a 21 square degree area with IRAC and MIPS of a representative region of the outer Galaxy (l=102-109, b=0-3). From these data and previous and future surveys in the submillimeter and millimeter, the specifics (rate, IMF) of star formation of the survey region will be measured. This direct measurement of the star formation efficiency will then be placed in context with ongoing work for the inner Galaxy, nearby molecular clouds and massive star forming regions, the Magellanic clouds and galaxies at larger distances. A set of optimally reduced mosaics and well-characterized source catalogs will be made available to the community. As with previous large Spitzer local group mapping programs, GLIMPSE, MIPSGAL & SAGE, this data set will be a fertile source for studying such topics as evolved stars, Galactic structure, dust physics and the diffuse ISM.
