Chemistry as a Diagnostic of Star Formation
This publication contains presentations & poster papers of a conference that focussed on the many aspects of astrochemistry related to star formation. Topics covered include: the next generation of telescopes & detectors; studies of fundamental chemical processes both in the lab & in the field; an exploration of the connections between chemistry & physics in star-forming regions; the unique problems of high-mass star formation; the formation of hydrogen; deuterated molecules; molecular depletion; observations & modelling of embedded protostars; accretion disks & circumstellar disks; interstellar dust; and the chemistry, physical conditions, & structure of dark clouds. Includes indexes of subjects, authors, & astronomical objects.
Galactic and Extragalactic Star Formation
Recent advances in the instrumentation used to observe star forming regions in both our own Milky Way and in external galaxies have transformed the subject from a phenomenological pursuit into an increasingly unified, physical science. High resolution centimetre, millimetre, infrared, and optical studies of local star forming clouds have allowed us to probe the physics of star formation down to spatial scales approaching those of the solar system. These developments make it possible to better constrain the basic physical processes underlying star formation itself. At the same time, these new instruments have placed extragalactic studies on a footing detailed enough to allow comparison with s...
Kinematics, Dynamics and Structure of the Milky Way
The idea of holding this workshop on "The Jllilky Way" arose at the conference dinner of a meeting on "Regions of Recent Star Formation" held at Penticton in June 1981. Leo Blitz (now at the University of Maryland) and I decided that there was a need, and agreed that we would organize one in Vancouver in the Spring of 1982. The purpose of the workshop was to have an intensive exchange of ideas between some of the most active workers in the field regarding the recent work which has been significantly changing our concepts of the Milky Way. To achieve this we limited the number of participants, and planned the program so that there was ample time for discussion. The meeting appeared to work ve...
Regions of Recent Star Formation
Proceedings of the Symposium on `Neutral Clouds Near Hll Regions - Dynamics and Photochemistry' held in Penticton, British Columbia, 24-26 June 1981
Regions of Recent Star Formation
The symposium on "Neutral Clouds near HII Regions" was prompted by an obvious need to bring together workers specifically interested in the dynamical and photochemical effects in regions showing clear evidence of on-going star formation. This is currently an are a of considerable research activity with much new observational material over the wavelength range from X-ray to radio. Furthermore, the field isbeginning to mature. No longer is molecular spectroscopy concerned only with the search for new lines and with preliminary surveys. No longer are evolving HII regions modelled with the naive assumption of constant density. Similarly, ideas of successive star formation, "champagne" and "blist...
Protostellar Jets in Context
It is over a quarter of a century since the discovery of out?ows from young stars. The intervening years have led to remarkable advances in our understanding of this phenomenon. Much of the progress can be attributed to advances in facilities and technologies, including not only larger telescopes but also improved instrument and detector performance. In addition protostellar out?ows have now been imaged from the ground and space at high spatial resolution, e. g. with HST, and at a wide - riety of wavelengths from X-rays to radio waves, revealing more and more about their physics. This veritable revolution in observation has been accompanied by an exponential growth in our ability to numerica...
