Abstract :
We present preliminary results of a study to determine the star formation rate of the Galaxy using a census of young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Spitzer/GLIMPSE and MIPSGAL surveys, which cover nearly 300 square degrees of the Galactic mid-plane. We find a value of 1.7M_/yr, consistent with independent estimates.
