  2. 70. An uncertainty principle for star formation - why galactic scaling relations break down below a certain spatial scale

    Galactic star formation (SF) relations are known to develop substantial scatter or even change form when considered below a certain spatial scale. I will quantify how this behaviour should be expected due to the incomplete statistical sampling of independent star-forming regions. Other included limiting factors are the incomplete sampling of SF tracers from the stellar initial mass function...

  3. 87. Herschel and APEX study of the initial condition of high-mass star formation

    The question of how high-mass stars form relies fundamentally on the initial conditions. Due to the large distances to high-mass star-forming complexes and their precursors known as infrared-dark clouds (IRDCs), high-angular resolution is required to resolve individual cores. With the advent of Herschel, we now have access to the wavelength regime in which the cold dust comprising the clouds...

(4) (1) European Southern Observatory; (2) Max-Planck Institut für Astronomie; (3) Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics; (4) Universität zu Köln In the last decade, we have started to spatially resolve the small gas and dust condensations in high-mass star-forming regions that will eventually become a massive star or...

  5. 99. Connecting diverse molecular cloud environments with nascent protostars in Orion
    Amelia Stutz (MPIA)

    contributed talk
    Understanding how the gas environment within molecular clouds influences the properties of protostars is a key step towards understanding the physical factors that control star formation. We report on analysis of the connection between molecular cloud environment and protostellar properties using the Herschel Orion Protostar Survey (HOPS), a large multi-observatory survey of protostars...
