The Dispersed Population of Dusty Young Stellar Objects in the Orion OB1 Association Following the exhaustion of the cryogenic fluids, a `warm’ mission survey extended the of the off-cloud region in the Orion/OB1 association complex. These data supplement the existing surveys of the σOrionis cluster and OB1b fields. Assemble a photometric catalogue of the extended region using Spitzer augmented with available 2MASS and WISE data. • Using only the three 2MASS bands and two IRAC bands at 3.6μm and 4.5μm, we estimate a recovered fraction of between 90 − 70%, when compared to the 3 + 4 band detections. • Using disc fractions measured by Hernandez et al. 2007, one can estimate a total off-cloud population, excluding the σOrioniscluster, 3000 − 8500 young stars.
