摘要:

大多数恒星诞生于巨大分子云中丰富的年轻星团(YSC)。最大质量的恒星在那里度过了短暂的生命,通过电离HII区域,使风吹气泡膨胀,并很快爆炸为超新星,深刻地影响了它们的出生环境。数以千计的低质量前主序星伴随着大质量恒星,而不断扩大的HII区域在摧毁它们的诞生云时,矛盾地触发了新恒星的形成。虽然这张示意图已经建立,但我们对星团恒星形成过程中复杂的天体物理过程的理解才刚刚开始阐明。这些技术具有挑战性,需要高空间分辨率和宽场波长,以穿透模糊的分子材料并去除污染的银河场恒星。我们概述了未来十年的几个重要项目:IMF和结构的YSC;触发恒星形成YSC周围的OB风的命运;红外暗云的恒星星族;在银河系中最大的星团;跟踪恒星形成整个银河系盘;银河系中心地区和麦哲伦云的YSC。方案建议包括:开发30米级自适应光学红外望远镜;支持高分辨率和宽视场X射线望远镜;大口径亚毫米和远红外望远镜;多目标红外光谱仪;以及数值和分析理论。

英文摘要:

Most stars are born in rich young stellar clusters (YSCs) embedded in giant molecular clouds. The most massive stars live out their short lives there, profoundly influencing their natal environments by ionizing HII regions, inflating wind-blown bubbles, and soon exploding as supernovae. Thousands of lower-mass pre-main sequence stars accompany the massive stars, and the expanding HII regions paradoxically trigger new star formation as they destroy their natal clouds. While this schematic picture is established, our understanding of the complex astrophysical processes involved in clustered star formation have only just begun to be elucidated. The technologies are challenging, requiring both high spatial resolution and wide fields at wavelengths that penetrate obscuring molecular material and remove contaminating Galactic field stars. We outline several important projects for the coming decade: the IMFs and structures of YSCs; triggered star formation around YSC; the fate of OB winds; the stellar populations of Infrared Dark Clouds; the most massive star clusters in the Galaxy; tracing star formation throughout the Galactic Disk; the Galactic Center region and YSCs in the Magellanic Clouds. Programmatic recommendations include: developing a 30m-class adaptive optics infrared telescope; support for high-resolution and wide field X-ray telescopes; large-aperture sub-millimeter and far-infrared telescopes; multi-object infrared spectrographs; and both numerical and analytical theory.
