Description
Results of a comprehensive, new, ground-based mid-infrared imaging survey of the young stellar population of the {rho} Ophiuchi cloud are presented. Data were acquired at the Palomar 5m and at the Keck 10m telescopes with the MIRLIN (Mid-InfraRed Large-well Imager) and LWS (Long Wavelength Spectrometer centered at 12.5{mu}m) instruments, at 0.5" and 0.25" resolutions, respectively. Of 172 survey objects, 85 were detected. Among the 22 multiple systems observed, 15 were resolved and their individual component fluxes determined.
