Simon Goodwin (Sheffield)Title: Is star formation universal? Abstract: Do stars form in basically the same way everywhere? If they do, then we can learn about star formation everywhere and everywhen from studying present-day local star formation. If they don't, then local star formation could be just fluff that might not tell us much about anything. I discuss what we mean by 'the same', and examine what observations tell us that star formation must be like if it is 'universal'. |
