Molecular or Dark Clouds "Cores" and Outflows Star Formation 101: A “Natural” Framework Jets and Disks Extrasolar System 1 pc
On the way to Star Formation 201 Ten Years Ago, this picture was OK…but now I know that: Structures in a turbulent, self-gravitating, flow are highly transient Outflows are episodic Young stars can move rapidly Energetically significant spherical outflows (e.g. SNe, winds) are common in star- forming regions
How do I know “that”? Optical imaging Near-infrared imaging Thermal dust imaging Molecular spectral-line mapping MHD Simulations
Spectral Line Mapping Velocity No loss of information Loss of 1 dimension

Does fecundity = demise? Bipolar outflows from young stars + Stellar Winds (& photons) from older stars + Large Explosions (SNe, GRBs) All have the power both to create & destroy

Environmental Impact Statement How do processes in each stage impact upon each other? (Sequential star formation, outflows reshaping clouds…) How long do “stages” last and how are they mixed? (Big cloud--“Starless” Core--Outflow--Planet Formation--Clearing) What is the time-history of star production in a “cloud”? Are all the stars formed still “there”?
What’s the right “environmentalist” approach? Gather a sample where you can statistically understand: Observing Biases Temporal Behavior Regional Variations

The Value of Coordination: B68 C 18 O Dust Emission Optical Image NICER Extinction Map Radial Density Profile, with Critical Bonnor-Ebert Sphere Fit Coordinated Molecular-Probe Line, Extinction & Thermal Emission Observations of Barnard 68 This figure highlights the work of Senior Collaborator João Alves and his collaborators. The top left panel shows a deep VLT image (Alves, Lada & Lada 2001). The middle top panel shows the 850 m continuum emission (Visser, Richer & Chandler 2001) from the dust causing the extinction seen optically. The top right panel highlights the extreme depletion seen at high extinctions in C 18 O emission (Lada et al. 2001). The inset on the bottom right panel shows the extinction map derived from applying the NICER method applied to NTT near-infrared observations of the most extinguished portion of B68. The graph in the bottom right panel shows the incredible radial-density profile derived from the NICER extinction map (Alves, Lada & Lada 2001). Notice that the fit to this profile shows the inner portion of B68 to be essentially a perfect critical Bonner-Ebert sphere
