Left: Location of the X‐ray sources with a hot (>8 keV) corona or embedded with a measured column with ﹩N_{\mathrm{H}\,}> 10^{23}﹩ cm−2, overlaid on a 2MASS Ks‐band image 8﹩\arcmin﹩ on a side. Right: Close‐up view of the central 2﹩\farcm﹩5. In both panels the hot (circles) and embedded (squares) sources are coaligned with the cold dust indicated by the millimeter data (contours from M. C. Vigil et al. 2006, in preparation). The thick contour is 60% of the 1.2 mm peak. Source 251 is both hot and embedded.
