The primary goal of the MISFITS survey is to identify and characterize —stars still embedded in dense, infalling envelopes of gas and dust—which have often been misidentified in previous studies. Misfits [Part 2 v13.1]

The survey addresses common errors in identifying Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) caused by factors like , which can make older Stage II sources appear younger. The survey addresses common errors in identifying Young
