Hubble and Spitzer photometry of NGC 602
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present the photometric catalogs for the star-forming cluster NGC 602 in the wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud covering a range of wavelengths from optical (HST/ACS F555W, F814W, and SMARTS/ANDICAM V, I) to infrared (Spitzer/IRAC 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8um and MIPS 24um).
Description
Combining this with Infrared Survey Facility near-infrared photometry (J, H, Ks), we compare the young main sequence (MS) and pre-main sequence (PMS) populations prominent in the optical with the current young stellar object (YSO) populations revealed by the infrared.
We analyze the MS and PMS population with isochrones in color-magnitude diagrams to derive ages and masses. The optical data reveal ~565 PMS candidates, low-mass Stage III YSOs. We characterize ~40 YSOs by fitting their spectral energy distributions to a grid of models (Robitaille et al. 2007ApJS..169..328R) to derive luminosities, masses, and evolutionary phase (Stages I-III).

The higher resolution HST images reveal that ~70% of the YSO candidates are either multiples or protoclusters. For YSOs and PMS sources found in common, we find a consistency in the masses derived. We use the YSO mass function to derive a present-day star formation rate of ~0.2-1.0M_{sun}_/yr/kpc^2^, similar to the rate derived from the optical star formation history suggesting a constant star formation rate for this region.
