We present Spitzer IRAC and MIPS observations of the star-forming region containing intermediate-mass young stellar object ( YSO ) AFGL 490 .
We supplement these data with near-IR 2MASS photometry and with deep SQIID obervations off the central high extinction region .
We have more than doubled the known membership of this region to 57 Class I and 303 Class II YSOs via the combined 1-24 \mu m photometric catalog derived from these data .
We construct and analyze the minimum spanning tree of their projected positions , isolating one locally over-dense cluster core containing 219 YSOs ( 60.8 % of the region ’ s members ) .
We find this cluster core to be larger yet less dense than similarly analyzed clusters .
Although the structure of this cluster core appears irregular , we demonstrate that the parsec-scale surface densities of both YSOs and gas are correlated with a power law slope of 2.8 , as found for other similarly analyzed nearby molecular clouds .
We also explore the mass segregation implications of AFGL 490 ’ s offset from the center of its core , finding that it has no apparent preferential central position relative to the low-mass members .
