: A central star and disk embedded within a dense envelope.

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]

: For a source to be confirmed as a protostar in this survey, the emission must be extended but peaked directly on the source to rule out unrelated nearby emission. : A central star and disk embedded within a dense envelope

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 uses specific metrics to distinguish between evolutionary stages:
