Abstract

We have used Spitzer IRAC and MIPS observations of N44 to identify young stellar objects (YSOs). Sixty YSO candidates with masses 4M are identified. We have compared the distribution of YSOs with those of the ionized gas, molecular clouds, and HI gas to study the properties of star formation.
