We present the full catalog of Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) identified in the 18 molecular clouds surveyed by the Spitzer Space Telescope "cores to disks" (c2d) and "Gould Belt" (GB) Legacy surveys. Using standard techniques developed by the c2d project, we identify 3239 candidate YSOs in the 18 clouds, 2966 of which survive visual inspection and form our final catalog of YSOs in the Gould Belt. We compile extinction corrected SEDs for all 2966 YSOs and calculate and tabulate the infrared spectral index, bolometric luminosity, and bolometric temperature for each object. We find that 326 (11%), 210 (7%), 1248 (42%), and 1182 (40%) are classified as Class 0+I, Flat-spectrum, Class II, and Class III, respectively, and show that the Class III sample suffers from an overall contamination rate by background AGB stars between 25% and 90%. Adopting standard assumptions, we derive durations of 0.40-0.78 Myr for Class 0+I YSOs and 0.26-0.50 Myr for Flat-spectrum YSOs, where the ranges encompass uncertainties in the adopted assumptions. Including information from (sub)millimeter wavelengths, one-third of the Class 0+I sample is classified as Class 0, leading to durations of 0.13-0.26 Myr (Class 0) and 0.27-0.52 Myr (Class I). We revisit infrared color-color diagrams used in the literature to classify YSOs and propose minor revisions to classification boundaries in these diagrams. Finally, we show that the bolometric temperature is a poor discriminator between Class II and Class III YSOs.

  1. Angular Momentum of Planet-Forming Disks: Implications for Infall Driven Misalignments

    astro-ph.EP 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Most planet-forming disks have less angular momentum than late-infalling cloud gas is predicted to carry, so infalling streamers are a plausible cause of the observed misalignments.

  2. Preferential alignment of Class 0, Class I protostellar disks in multiple systems across nine nearby molecular clouds

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Disks around young stars in binary and higher-order multiple systems are preferentially aligned out to 6000 AU, implying turbulent fragmentation alone cannot explain how most multiples form.

  3. ALMA High-resolution Observation of the HH46/47 Outflow/disk/envelope System

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    New ALMA data at 50 au resolution of HH46/47 shows a rotating-infalling envelope to disk transition at 30 au around a 0.3 solar-mass protostar, with outflow shells expanding radially and supporting entrainment over di...

  4. Ionized gas emission in protoplanetary disks with the SKAO

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Synthetic SKA-Mid observations of simulated MHD and photoevaporative disk winds show that free-free emission is detectable in hours and stacked hydrogen recombination lines are spectrally resolvable in ~10 hours.

  5. Probing outflow physics through CH$_3$CN and CH$_3$OH chemistry

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    The CH₃OH/CH₃CN ratio in the S68N outflow is constant at ~100-200 and matches gas-phase astrochemical models only when cosmic-ray ionization rates are raised to ~10^{-14} s^{-1}.

  6. Astrochemical Study of Early Embedded Disks

    astro-ph.SR 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    The paper proposes the iSEEDs project to integrate machine learning with astrochemistry for extracting physical conditions and molecular abundances from protostellar disk datasets.

  7. Substructures in Planet-Forming Disks with the SKAO

    astro-ph.EP 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    This review chapter discusses open questions on protoplanetary disk substructures and how SKA-Mid continuum observations at 12.5 GHz can help resolve them.
