Abstract:
We present analysis of the energetic star-forming region Henize 206
(N206) located near the southern edge of the Large Magellanic Cloud
(LMC) based on photometric data from the Spitzer Surveying the Agents
of Galaxy Evolution (SAGE-LMC; IRAC 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0um and MIPS
24um), Infrared Survey Facility near-infrared survey (J, H, Ks), and
the Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey (MCPS UBVI) covering a
wavelength range of 0.36-24um. Young stellar object (YSO) candidates
are identified based upon their location in infrared color-magnitude
space and classified by the shapes of their spectral energy
distributions in comparison with a pre-computed grid of YSO models. We
identify 116 YSO candidates: 102 are well characterized by the YSO
models, predominately Stage I, and 14 may be multiple sources or young
sources with transition disks. Careful examination of the individual
sources and their surrounding environment allows us to identify a
factor of ∼14.5 more YSO candidates than have already been identified.
The total mass of these well-fit YSO candidates is ∼520M☉. We
calculate a current star formation rate of
0.27x10-1M☉/yr/kpc2. The distribution of YSO candidates
appears to follow shells of neutral material in the interstellar
medium.
Description:
We take advantage of a rich data set from three surveys. In addition
to mid-infrared data from the Spitzer SAGE-LMC (Meixner et al. 2006,
Cat J/AJ/132/2268; Whitney et al., 2008, Cat. J/AJ/136/18; Gruendl et
al., 2009, Cat. J/ApJS/184/172), we use near-infrared (near-IR) data
from the Infrared Survey Facility (IRSF) Magellanic Clouds Point
Source Survey (Kato et al. 2007, Cat. II/288), and optical data from
the Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey (MCPS; Zaritsky et al.
1997AJ....114.1002Z 1997AJ....114.1002Z).

Note (1): Flag as follows:
1 = the presence of PAH emission is prevalent in the source's SED. Errors
in IRAC bands adjusted to 20%, 10%, 30%, and 40% for 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and
8 micron bands respectively in order to account for the presence of
PAH emission in their SEDs.
0 = no PAH emission is present.
Note (2): Flag as follows:
1 = there are multiple IRSF sources within the aperture of the IRAC source.
Doubled Near-IR errors due to the presence of multiple IRSF point
sources within a single IRAC aperture.
0 = there is either only one or no IRSF sources that correspond with the
IRAC source.
