Variations in the Mass Functions of Clustered and Isolated Young Stellar Objects
Helen Kirk, Philip C. Myers
We analyze high quality, complete stellar catalogs for four young (roughly 1 Myr) and nearby (within ~300 pc) star-forming regions: Taurus, Lupus3, ChaI, and IC348, which have been…

Mass distributions of stars and cores in young groups and clusters
Manon Michel, Helen Kirk, Philip C. Myers
We investigate the relation of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) and the dense core mass function (CMF), using stellar masses and positions in 14 well-studied young groups. I…

The Plaskett Lecture: Star Formation in the Perseus Molecular Cloud
Helen Kirk
Large-scale surveys of the Perseus molecular cloud have provided many clues as to the processes occurring during star formation. Here, analysis of both column density maps and kine…
