A 3-color (8, 24, 70 μm) image of the IC 1396 A globule. The cyan stars denote Class II and Class III objects from Sicilia-Aguilar et al. (2005, 2006a,b), Morales-Calderón et al. (2009), and Getman et al. (2012). The green stars are Class I objects from Sicilia-Aguilar et al. (2006a) and Reach et al. (2004). The yellow X symbols correspond to X-ray detections consistent with YSO from Getman et al. (2012). The objects discussed in this work are marked as large squares (black for Class 0 objects, orange for Class I objects) and labeled with numbers (1 = IC 1396 A-PACS-1; 2 = 21364660+5729384; 3 = 21361942+5728385; 4 = 21361836+5728316). We also labeled the objects in the eye-shaped hole of the nebula (marked as cyan stars; a = V 390 Cep; b = 14-141, see text). The contours correspond to the 160 μm PACS image, 10 levels in log scale between 0.7 and 10 Jy/beam.
