Modes 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 کاملSummary: 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 Star Formation along the Hubble Sequence and Beyond
I assess the similarities and differences between the star-formation modes in quiescent spiral galaxies versus those in violent starburst regions. As opposed to the quiescent star-formation mode in spiral galaxies, current empirical evidence on the star-formation processes in the extreme, high-pressure environments induced by galaxy encounters strongly suggests that star cluster formation is an...
متن کاملThe physics and modes of star cluster formation: observations.
Stellar clusters are born in cold and dusty molecular clouds and the youngest clusters are embedded to various degrees in a dusty dark molecular material. Such embedded clusters can be considered protocluster systems. The most deeply buried examples are so heavily obscured by dust that they are only visible at infrared wavelengths. These embedded protoclusters constitute the nearest laboratorie...
متن کاملThe physics and modes of star cluster formation: simulations.
We review progress in numerical simulations of star cluster formation. These simulations involve the bottom-up assembly of clusters through hierarchical mergers, which produces a fractal stellar distribution at young (approx. 0.5 Myr) ages. The resulting clusters are predicted to be mildly aspherical and highly mass-segregated, except in the immediate aftermath of mergers. The upper initial mas...
