Overview
|
C2D used all three Spitzer instruments (IRAC, MIPS, and IRS) to observe sources that span the evolutionary sequence from
molecular cores to protoplanetary disks, encompassing a wide range of cloud masses, stellar masses, and star-forming
environments. In addition to targeting about 150 known compact cores, C2D surveyed with IRAC and MIPS (3.6-70 microns)
the entire areas of five of the nearest large molecular clouds for new candidate protostars and substellar objects as
faint as 0.001 solar luminosities. C2D also observed with IRAC and MIPS about 190 systems likely to be in the early
stages of planetary system formation (ages up to about 10 Myr), probing the evolution of the circumstellar dust, the raw material for planetary cores.
