Distribution throughout the SMC of the different populations of sources selected using the color‐magnitude cuts described in the main text: (a) YSOs. (b) Carbon stars. (c) RSGs and bright end of the AGB. (d) Early B stars with 24 μm emission. (e) Faint and red MIR sources, corresponding to YSOs heavily contaminated by background galaxies. (f) Highly significant 70 μm sources without 24 μm counterparts (﹩\mathrm{S}\,/ \mathrm{N}\,> 25﹩). The gray outline indicates the approximate region covered by the combination of wave bands used to identify the different populations.
