In this post, we explore the use of modern telescopes to identify and study Young Stellar Objects in the Chamaeleon Cloud Complex – a star-forming region in the Chamaeleon constellation. YSOs exhibit an infrared excess due to the presence of cooler circumstellar matter. By analyzing their Spectral Energy Distribution, we can gain insights into the rate at which stars form and the factors that govern this process. Using GAIA parameters, such as parallax and proper motion, we can refine the list of known young stars and identify new ones. Our results demonstrate the power of modern telescopes in unlocking the mysteries of star formation.
