Title

Spitzer Young Stellar Object Variability

Description

The YSOVAR (Young Stellar Object VARiability) observing program on the Spitzer Space Telescope obtained the first extensive mid-infrared (IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 micron) time series photometry of the Orion Nebula Cluster, plus smaller fields in 11 other star-forming cores (AFGL 490, NGC 1333, Mon R2, GGD 12-15, NGC 2264, L1688, Serpens Main, Serpens South, IRAS 20050+2720, IC 1396A, and Ceph C). It is a sister project to the Coordinated Synoptic Investigation of NGC 2264, and the data set contains ~29,000 unique objects with light curves in either or both IRAC channels. Initial YSOVAR results were described in Morales-Calderon et al. (2011). Rebull et al. (2014) describes the details of target selection, data reduction, and other conventions established for this project.
