Star Formation in a Dynamic Interstellar Medium Workshop hosted by the Yale University Astronomy Department May 20, 2002 Simulation is a preview of work by Bate, Bonnell & Bromm…stay tuned
The Plan Time Speaker Topic 09:40Alyssa Goodman (CfA/Yale) Introduction 10:00 Phil Myers(CfA) What are the properties of the observed environment for star formation? 10:40 Coffee Break 11:00 Richard Larson What are the real observational constraints on the IMF? 11:40 Paolo Padoan (Caltech/JPL) What have we learned from numerical simulations of the star-forming ISM, on >1 pc scales? 12:20 Lunch 1:50 Bruce Elmegreen (IBM) On what scale is an IMF determined, and how might the answer to this question change? (Opinion #1) 2:30 Ian Bonnell (U. St. Andrews) On what scale is an IMF determined, and how might the answer to this question change? (Opinion #2; simulation figure above from Bate, Bonnell & Bromm) 3:10 Coffee Break 3:30 Richard Larson (Yale) Thoughts, and an open fourm, on the day's presentations 4:00 Meeting Adjourns, but those interested stay on to chat
