Young stellar objects in the Monoceros OB1 molecular cloud

Detailed results of an IRAS survey of a large portion of the Monoceros OB1 molecular cloud for discrete far-IR sources are presented. IRAS spectral energy distributions are constructed for 27 of the 30 sources identified in the region. Many are bright class I energy distributions, indicating that star formation is still occurring in the complex which produced the visible cluster, NGC 2264. Far-IR luminosities are calculated for each source, and the bolometric luminosity functions for class I and class II sources in the Mon OB1 cloud are found to be significantly different. Of all class I and II sources more luminous than 5 solar, 50 percent of class I sources are more luminous than 60 solar while only 4 percent of class II sources are. An attempt is made to determine the type of young stellar object in the cloud with which molecular outflows are associated.
