Summary: Modes of Star Formation
This meeting has featured many interesting developments in a wide range of topics related to star formation, and it will not be possible for me to review all of them in this brief summary; instead, I shall focus on what seemed to me some of the main themes or conclusions of the meeting. The title “Modes of Star Formation” can refer to a variety of different aspects of star formation, and it can...
متن کاملModes of Multiple Star Formation
This paper argues that star forming environments should be classified into finer divisions than the traditional isolated and clustered modes. Using the observed set of galactic open clusters and theoretical considerations regarding cluster formation, we estimate the fraction of star formation that takes place within clusters. We find that less than ∼ 10% of the stellar population originates fro...
متن کاملClustered Star Formation in W 75
We present 2 ′′ to 7 ′′ resolution 3 mm continuum and CO(J=1−0) line emission and near infrared K s , H 2 , and [FeII] images toward the massive star forming region W75 N. The CO emission uncovers a complex morphology of multiple, overlapping outflows. A total flow mass of > 255 M ⊙ extends 3 pc from end-to-end and is being driven by at least four late to early-B protostars. More than 10% of th...
متن کاملClustered Massive Star Formation in Molecular Clouds
I review some important questions in the field of massive star formation: What are the initial conditions for proto star clusters and how do they arise? What are the initial conditions for individual massive star formation within star clusters? How do massive protostars accumulate their mass? I compare the Turbulent Core Model (McKee & Tan 2003) to several nearby regions, including Orion KL. He...
متن کاملThickening of galactic disks through clustered star formation
The building blocks of galaxies are star clusters. These form with low-star formation efficiencies and, consequently, loose a large part of their stars that expand outwards once the residual gas is expelled by the action of the massive stars. Massive star clusters may thus add kinematically hot components to galactic field populations. This kinematical imprint on the stellar distribution functi...
