Where do most stars (and the planetary systems that surround them) in the Milky Way form? What determines whether a young star cluster remains bound (such as an open or globular cluster), or disperses to join the field stars in the disc of the Galaxy? These questions not only impact understanding of the origins of stars and planetary systems like our own (and the potential for life to emerge that they represent), but also galaxy formation and evolution, and ultimately the story of star formation over cosmic time in the Universe. This volume will help readers understand ... Read more

Reviews for Dynamics of Young Star Clusters and Associations: Saas-Fee Advanced Course 42. Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy
This book covers the dynamics of young stellar systems. ... this is both a good introduction to the field, and a useful reference for those who already work in the area. ... This is a great book for both observers and theorists in any area around star formation, star clusters/associations, and galactic dynamics - especially timely with Gaia data arriving ... Read more
