On the way to Star Formation 201

Ten Years Ago, this picture was OK…but now I know that:Structures in a turbulent, self-

gravitating, flow are highly transientOutflows are episodicYoung stars can move rapidlyEnergetically significant spherical

outflows (e.g. SNe, winds) are common in star-forming regions

How do I know “that”?

Environmental Impact Statement

• How do processes in each stage impact upon each other? (Sequential star formation, outflows reshaping clouds…)

• How long do “stages” last and how are they mixed? (Big cloud--“Starless” Core--Outflow--Planet Formation--Clearing)

• What is the time-history of star production in a “cloud”? Are all the stars formed still “there”?

This figure highlights the work of Senior Collaborator João Alves and his collaborators. The top left panel shows a deep VLT image (Alves, Lada & Lada 2001). The middle top panel shows the 850 m continuum emission (Visser, Richer & Chandler 2001) from the dust causing the extinction seen optically. The top right panel highlights the extreme depletion seen at high extinctions in C18O emission (Lada et al. 2001). The inset on the bottom right panel shows the extinction map derived from applying the NICER method applied to NTT near-infrared observations of the most extinguished portion of B68. The graph in the bottom right panel shows the incredible radial-density profile derived from the NICER extinction map (Alves, Lada & Lada 2001). Notice that the fit to this profile shows the inner portion of B68 to be essentially a perfect critical Bonner-Ebert sphere

COMPLETE, Part 1

Observations:2003-- Mid- and Far-IR SIRTF Legacy Observations: dust temperature and column density maps ~5 degrees mapped with ~15" resolution (at 70 m)

2002-- NICER/2MASS Extinction Mapping: dust column density maps ~5 degrees mapped with ~5' resolution

2003-- SCUBA Observations: dust column density maps, finds all "cold" source ~20" resolution on all AV>2”

2002-- FCRAO/SEQUOIA 13CO and 13CO Observations: gas temperature, density and velocity information ~40" resolution on all AV>1

Science:– Combined Thermal Emission data: dust spectral-energy distributions, giving emissivity, Tdust and Ndust

– Extinction/Thermal Emission inter-comparison: unprecedented constraints on dust properties and cloud distances, in addition to high-dynamic range Ndust map

– Spectral-line/Ndust Comparisons Systematic censes of inflow, outflow & turbulent motions enabled

– CO maps in conjunction with SIRTF point sources will comprise YSO outflow census
