Abstract:
We present new images and photometry of the massive star-forming
complex Cygnus X obtained with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) and
the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) on board the
Spitzer Space Telescope. A combination of IRAC, MIPS, UKIRT Deep
Infrared Sky Survey, and Two Micron All Sky Survey data are used to
identify and classify young stellar objects (YSOs). Of the 8231
sources detected exhibiting infrared excess in Cygnus X North, 670 are
classified as class I and 7249 are classified as class II. Using
spectra from the FAST Spectrograph at the Fred L. Whipple Observatory
and Hectospec on the MMT, we spectrally typed 536 sources in the
Cygnus X complex to identify the massive stars. We find that YSOs tend
to be grouped in the neighborhoods of massive B stars (spectral types
B0 to B9).
Description:
Cygnus X was observed with the Spitzer IRAC instrument in all four
bands (3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0um) in three campaigns between 2007
November and 2008 November.The MIPS observations were taken at the
fast scan rate, with a typical resolution of 6" in the 24um band.
We obtained 536 optical spectra during fall 2008 using the FAST
instrument, an optical spectrograph in operation at the focus of the
1.5m Tillinghast reflector at the Fred L. Whipple Observatory and the
Hectospec multifiber spectrograph mounted on the 6.5m MMT telescope,
both on Mount Hopkins. The FAST spectra were obtained using the 300
groove/mm grating centered at 5500Å with a resolution of 3Å.

Note (1): To verify that the sources for which we have optical spectra are
indeed members of the Cygnus X complex, we plot the spectroscopic
sample on a dereddened color-magnitude diagram. We used the catalog
of spectral types and intrinsic colors presented in Kenyon & Hartmann
(1995, Cat. J/ApJS/101/117) to determine each star's intrinsic r'-i'
color via the Sloan filter conversions presented in Jordi et al.
(2006A&A...460..339J 2006A&A...460..339J). See section 3.1 for further details.
