The Timescale and Mode of Star Formation in Clusters
Jonathan C. Tan
I discuss two questions about the origin of star clusters: How long does the process take? What is the mode of individual star formation? I argue that observations of Galactic star…
Feedback and Formation of Massive Star Clusters in Giant Molecular Clouds
Jonathan C. Tan, Christopher F. McKee
It is well known that the energy input from massive stars dominates the thermal and mechanical heating of typical regions in the interstellar medium of galaxies. These effects are…
Testing Massive Star Formation Theory in Orion
Jonathan C. Tan
I compare theoretical models of massive star formation with observations of the Orion Hot Core, which harbors one of the closest massive protostars. Although this region is complic…
Outflow-Confined HII Regions and the Formation of Massive Stars by Accretion
Jonathan C. Tan, Christopher F. McKee
If massive stars form by disk accretion, then bipolar outflows should be generated as in the case of low-mass star formation. High accretion rates lead to high outflow rates and ma…
