The Cygnus X Protostellar Luminosity Function
Date
RGB images of Cygnus X sub-regions with R=Spitzer MIPS 24 band (left) and SOFIA FORCAST 31 band (right) showing that bright, clustered regions can be completely saturated in the MIPS data, while clearly revealed by SOFIA FORCAST. The upper pair shows the saturated cores and strong halos of bright sources. The lower pair shows a close-up of a saturated area of extended nebulosity.
