Observation Theory Giant Molecular Clouds 10-100pc, 100,000M T<100K Radio Collapse trigger: SN cloud-cloud collisions density wave • O and B stars form • winds • smaller mass stars IR Herbig-Haro, T Tauri
Birth Sequence • trigger [SN, cloud-cloud, density wave] • star formation “eats” its way into the cloud
Cone nebula HST Clusters dissolve into the field in ~ 10 Myr
Birth Sequence • trigger [SN, cloud-cloud, density wave] • cloud fragments and collapses [Jeans mass and radius] • free-fall [~4000 yr] Jean’s instability: Ugas = -1/2 Ω (internal energy vs g potential E
Minimum mass for collapse (Jean’s Mass) MJ ~ (5kT/GmH)3/2 (3/4o)1/2 or MJ ~ 3kTR/GmH Minimum radius: RJ ~ (15kT/4GmH o)1/2 or RJ ~ GmHM/3kT Cloud fragments & collapses if M>MJ, R>RJ Free-fall time = (3/32Go)1/2 for T~150K, n~108/cm3, ~2x10-16 g/cm3 tff ~ 4700 yr Dense, cold regions can support only small masses (so collapse), while warm, diffuse regions can support larger masses (stable)
Star Formation The dark region has just developed a Jeans instability. The central gases are heating as they fall into the newly forming protostar.

Unfortunately, no good quantitative theory to predict star formation rate or stellar mass distribution ! IMF = Initial Mass Function • (log m) = dN/d log m m- • N is number of stars in logarithmic mass range log m + d log m • = 1.35 Salpeter slope (logarithmic) in linear units (m)= dN/dm m- where = + 1(= 2.35 Salpeter) Big question: Is it universal?
Birth Sequence • trigger [SN, cloud-cloud, density wave] • cloud fragments and collapses [Jeans mass and radius] • early collapse isothermal - E radiated away • interior becomes adiabatic[no heat transfer] - E trapped so T rises • protostellar core forms [~ 5 AU] with free-falling gas above • dust vaporizes as T increases • convective period • radiative period • nuclear fusion begins [starts zero-age main sequence]

Giant-Supergiant Stage • H fusion stops - core contracts and heats up • H shell burning starts - outer layers expand • core T reaches 100 million K - He flash, He fusion starts • high mass - multiple shell and fusion stages • C to O, O to Ne, Ne to Si, Si to Fe • Fusion stops at Fe
