AzTEC/LMT 1.1 mm continuum grayscale image of the core of the
extremely young embedded stellar cluster, Serpens South, overlaid on
the false-color mid-infrared discovery image from the Spitzer Space
Telescope (RGB = 24, 8.0, 4.5 microns). Over fifty Sun-like stars are
forming in the busy center of this region, based on the Spitzer data,
but the 1.1 mm image enables us to isolate those sources that are too
heavily enshrouded in dust for even Spitzer to see. Red contours
overlaid on the grayscale image are derived from a similar map at 350
microns from SHARC-II on the CSO (M. Dunham et al. in prep.); the
similar angular resolution and close agreement of the two maps imply
similar dust temperatures among the different emission structures now
resolved at 1.1 mm by the LMT.
