Description

The Cygnus-X region is one of the brightest regions of the sky at all wavelengths and one of the richest known regions of star formation of the Galaxy. The goals of the Cygnus-X survey are to provide a detailed picture of the processes that govern the evolution of massive star forming complexes, to study star formation in the massive star forming complex environment, and to provide a rich sample of intermediate to high mass protostars spanning the full range of protostellar evolution. The project will also allow us to assess the role of feedback in a massive OB star/molecular cloud complex. The survey imaged a ~24 square degree region centered near 20:30:25, +40:00 (J2000). The IRAC images had a median coverage of 3x12s high dynamic range (HDR) frames, and the MIPS data were taken in fast scanning mode in the 24 and 70 μm bands.
