Abstract

We present an analysis of AKARI Far-Infrared Surveyor, Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera and Mid-Infrared Photometer for Spitzer data as well as various other photometric data of the Taurus-Auriga region. Our aim was to locate and describe young stellar objects (YSO), and to test the potential of AKARI FIS data in the classification of YSOs. We studied 32 YSOs, 7 of those had not been observed by the SST. We succesfully modeled 21 YSOs with the SED Fitting Tool of Robitaille. We confirmed the previous models in 20 cases, and corrected the physical parameters for 5 YSOs. This research is part of the AKARI Mission Program "Star Formation".
