Mass segregation and sequential star formation in NGC 2264 revealed by Herschel

T. Nony, J. -F. Robitaille, F. Motte +16

The mass segregation of stellar clusters could be primordial rather than dynamical. Despite the abundance of studies of mass segregation for stellar clusters, those for stellar pro…
