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 />

Uniform baseline removed<br />
Class I YSOs in red<br />
Class II YSOs in gray<br />
Diagonal shading:<br />
- Lower Av limit (Av < 1) on left<br />
- Lower YSO surface density<br />
