We present a comprehensive analysis of structure in the young, embedded cluster, NGC 1333 using members identified with Spitzer and 2MASS photometry based on their IR-excess emission. In total, 137 members are identified in this way,…

We report the results of the first sensitive L-band (3.4 micron) imaging survey of the young IC 348 cluster in Perseus. In conjunction with previously acquired JHK (1.25, 1.65, 2.2 micron) observations, we use L-band data to obtain a census…

We describe new, deep MIPS photometry and new high signal-to-noise optical spectroscopy of the 2.5 Myr-old IC 348 Nebula. To probe the properties of the IC 348 disk population, we combine these data with previous optical/infrared photometry…

The IC 348 young star cluster contains more than 300 confirmed members. It is embedded in the Perseus molecular cloud, making any clustering analysis subject to an extinction bias. In this work, we derive the extinction map of the cloud and…

We present near and mid-infrared photometry obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope of 300 known members of the IC348 cluster. We merge this photometry with existing ground-based optical and near-infrared photometry in order to construct…

The IC 1396N cometary globule within the large nearby HII region IC 1396 has been observed with the ACIS detector on board the Chandra X-ray Observatory. We detect 117 X-ray sources, of which ~50-60 are likely members of the young open…

We report on a near-infrared adaptive optics survey of a sample of 66 low-mass members of the pre-main sequence stellar cluster IC 348. We find 12 binary systems in the separation range 0.1-8.0 arcsec. An estimate of the number of faint…

We present 75 new stellar rotation periods in the young cluster IC348. Stars estimated to be less massive than 0.25 Mo show a unimodal distribution with a peak at P ~1-2 d) and a tail of slower rotators, while stars estimated to be more…

We present a photometric study of I-band variability in the young cluster IC 348. The main purpose of the study was to identify periodic stars. In all we find 50 periodic stars, of which 32 were previously unknown. For the first time in IC…

One of the central goals of the Spitzer Legacy Project ``From Molecular Cores to Planet-forming Disks'' (c2d) is to determine the frequency of remnant circumstellar disks around weak-line T Tauri stars (wTTs) and to study the properties and…

We present a 1.3 mm continuum survey of the young (2-3 Myr) stellar cluster IC 348, which lies at a distance of 310 pc, and is dominated by low-mass stars (M$_{\star}$ $\sim$ 0.1-0.6 M$_{\odot}$). We observed 136 Class II sources (disks…

The physical origin of the strong magnetic activity in T Tauri stars and its relation to stellar rotation is not yet well understood. We investigate the relation between the X-ray activity, rotation, and Rossby number for a sample of 82…
