A <strong>Correlation</strong> <strong>Between</strong> Star and Gas <strong>Surface</strong> Density in Ophiuchus!<br />

YSO surface densities:<br />

- 11 th nearest neighbor<br />

- Each YSO ~ 0.5 Msun<br />

Gas surface densities:<br />

- Near-IR reddening maps<br />

Class II YSOs in gray<br />

Diagonal shading:<br />

- Lower Av limit (Av < 1) on left<br />

- Lower YSO surface density<br />
