Popis: We present the investigation results of structure and stellar content of a molecular cloud surrounding the five IRAS sources: 05168+3634, 05184+3635, 05177+3636, 05162+3639, and IRAS 05156+3643. Using multi-color criteria, we identified a rich population of embedded YSO candidates with infrared excess (Class 0/I and Class II) and their characteristics in a quite large molecular cloud which is located in the region of 24 arcmin radius. The molecular cloud includes 240 candidates of YSOs within the radii of sub-regions around 5 IRAS sources. The color-magnitude diagrams of the sub-regions suggest a very young stellar population. We construct the K luminosity function (KLF) of the sub-regions and according to the values of the slopes of KLFs, the age of the sub-regions can be estimated between 0.1-3 Myr. The SEDs are constructed for 45 Class I and 75 Class II evolutionary stages YSOs and the received parameters of those YSOs are well correlated with the results obtained by other methods.
