The physics and modes of star cluster formation: observations
Charles J. Lada
Stellar clusters are born in cold and dusty molecular clouds and the youngest clusters are embedded to various degrees in dusty dark molecular material. Such embedded clusters can…
High Resolution Near-Infrared Survey of the Pipe Nebula I: A Deep Infrared Extinction Map of Barnard 59
Carlos G. Román-Zúñiga, Charles J. Lada, João F. Alves
We present our analysis of a fully sampled, high resolution dust extinction map of the Barnard 59 complex in the Pipe Nebula. The map was constructed with the infrared color excess…
The California Molecular Cloud
Charles J. Lada, Marco Lombardi, Joao F. Alves
We present an analysis of wide-field infrared extinction maps of a region in Perseus just north of the Taurus-Auriga dark cloud complex. From this analysis we have identified a mas…
Dense cores in the Pipe Nebula: An improved core mass function
J. M. Rathborne, C. J. Lada, A. A. Muench +3
In this paper we derive an improved core mass function (CMF) for the Pipe Nebula from a detailed comparison between measurements of visual extinction and molecular-line emission. W…
On the fidelity of the core mass functions derived from dust column density data
J. Kainulainen, C. J. Lada, J. M. Rathborne +1
Aims: We examine the recoverability and completeness limits of the dense core mass functions (CMFs) derived for a molecular cloud using extinction data and a core identification sc…
