... A Galactic Star Forming Region in Infrared . ... Credit: S. Carey ( SSC/Caltech ), JPL-Caltech , NASA Explanation: How do stars form? To help study this complex issue, astronomers took a deep image in infrared light of an active part of our Milky Way Galaxy where star formation is rampant. ... The image , though, taken last year by the Spitzer Space Telescope in infrared light , shows vast glowing fields of gas and dust, indicating that much of this dust is heated by forming stars. ...

... GSAOI Home . ... Science . ... Deep imaging at J , H , and K is required to identify all stellar objects, brown dwarfs, and planetary mass objects in the central region of the Orion Nebula Cluster down to masses comparable to that of Jupiter. This is required to establish the initial mass function, i.e., the number of stars of each mass that have formed, in this region of intense massive star formation. ... The fields of the GSAOI detectors are shown as four green squares in each frame. ...

Next: Low-Mass Star Formation Up: M.D. Smith Previous: M.D. Smith Contents . Massive stars are of elevated importance in our Universe for several reasons. ... During their lives, they influence the nurseries in which new stars might form. ... He and Michael Smith investigated the consequences of massive star formation in one such region of our Galaxy. They uncovered that massive stars are forming in the Rosette Molecular Complex at a rate way beyond previous expectations. ...

... We report on our ongoing project ``Infrared Study of HII Regions Associated with Small Clouds.' ... These IR data, combined with optical imaging (which will be obtained from the IAC-80 telescope), IRAS survey maps, and existing CO observations of the associated clouds, will allow us to undertake a detailed investigation of the gas-to-dust mass ratio, initial mass function and the star-formation efficiency in these complexes. ...

... I present results from several seasons of photometric observations of X--ray sources in the Orion OB1a and OB1b star formation regions. The initial goal was to measure the rotational periods of several dozen pre--main sequence (PMS) stars. ... Infrared and optical data confirm that 90% of the X--ray sources are PMS and about 10% of the PMS stars may have disks. ... I find rotation periods for five stars at confidence of greater than 99.9/ greater than 99/ at much lower confidence. ...
