"Hunting the Fast and the Slow in Orion: Insights into Star and Cluster Formation"
Jonathan Tan ( Princeton) - May 26 at 12:00 noon
As one of the nearest and youngest clusters with a healthy complement
of massive stars, the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) presents a unique
opportunity for constraining disparate theories of formation. I
review what we can learn about the birth of massive stars from the
BN-KL region, which harbours both an accreting massive protostar and a
dynamically ejected runaway. I discuss what Orion tells us about
global models of cluster formation.
The seminar will be held in 501 Campbell Hall.
