Description
The Scorpius-Centaurus OB association is the nearest region of recent massive star formation. With several distinct stellar groups ranging in age from a few to ~15 Myr, it presents an interesting labratory to explore the interaction between stellar feedback, the ISM, and the formation of clusters and associations from molecular clouds. An apparent age sequence along the association raises the possibility of cluster-scale triggering, or at least sculpting, of one subgroup (Upper Scorpius) by the wind and supernova driven bubble generated by another (Upper Centaurus-Lupus). We report on our recent efforts to numerically model this region.
