Investigation of the stellar content in the IRAS 05168+3634 star-forming
  region
  We present the investigation results of structure and stellar content of a
molecular cloud surrounding the five IRAS sources: 05168+3634, 05184+3635,
05177+3636, 05162+3639, and IRAS 05156+3643. Using multi-color criteria, we
identified a rich population of embedded YSO candidates with infrared excess
(Class 0/I and Class II) and their characteristics in a quite large molecular
cloud which is located in the region of 24 arcmin radius. The molecular cloud
includes 240 candidates of YSOs within the radii of sub-regions around 5 IRAS
sources. The color-magnitude diagrams of the sub-regions suggest a very young
stellar population. We construct the K luminosity function (KLF) of the
sub-regions and according to the values of the slopes of KLFs, the age of the
sub-regions can be estimated between 0.1-3 Myr. The SEDs are constructed for 45
Class I and 75 Class II evolutionary stages YSOs and the received parameters of
those YSOs are well correlated with the results obtained by other methods.
