On the Origin of Mass Segregation in NGC 3603
Xiaoying Pang, Eva K. Grebel, Richard J. Allison +5
We present deep Hubble Space Telescope/Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 photometry of the young HD 97950 star cluster in the giant H {\sc ii} region NGC 3603. The data were obtain…
Binary mass ratios: system mass not primary mass
Simon P. Goodwin
Binary properties are usually expressed (for good observational reasons) as a function of primary mass. It has been found that the distribution of companion masses -- the mass rati…
Infant mortality in the hierarchical merging scenario: Dependency on gas expulsion timescales
Rory Smith, Simon Goodwin, Michael Fellhauer +1
We examine the effects of gas expulsion on initially sub-structured and out-of-equilibrium star clusters. We perform N-body simulations of the evolution of star clusters in a stati…
Testing the universality of star formation - II. Comparing separation distributions of nearby star-forming regions and the field
Robert R. King, Simon P. Goodwin, Richard J. Parker +1
We have measured the multiplicity fractions and separation distributions of seven young star-forming regions using a uniform sample of young binaries. Both the multiplicity fractio…
The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey IV: Candidates for isolated high-mass star formation in 30 Doradus
E. Bressert, N. Bastian, C. J. Evans +15
Whether massive stars can occasionally form in relative isolation or if they require a large cluster of lower-mass stars around them is a key test in the differentiation of star fo…
Testing the universality of star formation - I. Multiplicity in nearby star-forming regions
Robert R. King, Richard J. Parker, Jenny Patience +1
We have collated multiplicity data for five clusters (Taurus, Chamaeleon I, Ophiuchus, IC348, and the Orion Nebula Cluster). We have applied the same mass ratio (flux ratios of del…
