CONCLUSION OF VOTES: we should do BRC 27 AND BRC 34!
 
 
''BRC 34''  1 proposal to study by Garmire, nothing on SIMBAD
 
 
 
''BRC 36''  3 articles on ADS two are on star formation but none on SIMBAD
 
 
 
''BRC 38''  1 article by Choudhury which identified 45 YSO's
 
 
 
''BRC 31''  nothing on both
 
 
 
''BRC 27''  Chauhan observed BR 27 and came up with some YSO candidates and a catalog(?) entry on SIMBAD.

''BRC27''     
 
 
 
07h04m07.8s   
 
 
 
-11d16m43s
 
 
 
ADS: Chauhan; Simbad: 14 entries (I checked them, not all seem to be on this exact area)
 
 
 
Images: the Aladdin Sky Atlas (DSS2 & Simbad) shows the image fairly bright where the B & W is dark. Kicking in the IRAS data only makes 5 IR targets show up, plus the cloud near the bottom of the image. 
 
 
 
Where are all the targets & YSOs that are mentioned by Chauhan? Chauhan abstract (2009) “Triggered star formation and evolution of T-Tauri stars in and around bright-rimmed clouds.”  From Chauhan’s data tables 4 & 6 I gleaned the following nuggets of information:
 
table4.dat        85    133  Dereddened magnitude, colors, age and mass of the YSOs associated with the BRCs; Last entry from table 4 and Table 6 each say this: Cl II  YSO class  (meta.code.class)  (CLASS_CODE)
 
 
 
Coordinates for this cloud come up as:
 
07 03 58.7
 
-11 23 19       
 
IRAS 07016-1118 slightly south and to the right of the main image of BRC27
 
 
 
From data Table 6: IRAC photometric magnitudes of the disk bearing candidates in BRCs 2, 27 and 13/14  (are we interested in examining this?)
 
 
 
 
 
''BRC31''     
 
 
 
20h50m43.4s   
 
 
 
+44d21m53s
 
 
 
Busy field; Cloud in center of Aladin Applet image.(right on these coordinates)
 
surrounded by Emission line stars,  HH, and radio sources, and an X-ray source. The frame completely fills up when 2MASS is applied.
 
 
 
DSS2 shows a thick cloud.  Simbad shows the sources described above.
 
 
 
''BRC34''     
 
 
 
21h32m51.2s   
 
 
 
+58d08m43s
 
 
 
0 ADS abstracts; 0 Simbad citations
 
No object listed at (or near) these precise coordinates, however, AllSky Optical images reveal the clouds that were of interest to Lori.  Parts of the cloud are labeled.  The DSS2.POSSII image reveals 2 star clusters, a Cloud Dark Nebula, and 2 IR sources (one above & slightly to the right of the center of the image)  Many hits on 2MASS
 
 
 
''BRC36'' 
 
   
 
21h35m32.6s   
 
 
 
+57d31m50s
 
 
 
3 results from ADS: 1 abstract, 2 Chandra proposals; 0 results from Simbad,
 
however, Aladin applet Simbad identifies  (and IRAS-IRIS reveals)
 
6 YSO’s, 10 IR sources, 2 Mol Cld, Rf Neb,  Br Neb, Dk Neb, stars in nebulae, and stars in clouds.
 
 
 
This looks like an interesting field.  Lots going on (too much?)
 
ADS: Garmire and Getman are both proposing to use Chandra to study this area.  (x-rays)
 
 
 
''BRC38''  (is this SFO 38?)   
 
 
 
21h40m02.2s   
 
 
 
+58d20m31s 
 
 
 
Triggered Star Formation and Young Stellar Population in Bright-rimmed Cloud SFO 38 by Choudhury, Rumpa; Mookerjea, Bhaswati; Bhatt, H. C. [http://arxiv.org/pdf/1005.1841v1]
 
 
 
They have identified 45 YSO’s in this area, although I only counted 19 in the image I was able to pull up.  They studied the area with a variety of instruments and wavelengths (including Spitzer).  This seems like a fairly comprehensive study. 
 
 
 
--- This is a fabulous start, Team BRC. Pats on the back to all :)

Instructions

2011 proposal instructions

Background on Star Formation

Luisa's tutorial on star formation from cool cosmos


Notes from a U of Oregon lecture on star formation ... not as good as Luisa's lecture notes but a good launching point ... http://abyss.uoregon.edu/~js/ast122/lectures/lec13.html

A more detailed explanation of Star Formation from a textbook. There's more math here than we'll need. File:SF.pdf --CJohnson 11:05, 1 February 2011 (PST)


Target Selection

The list of sources that Lori suggests we consider are here:

Let's collect information on literature references for each of these. Look in both ADS and SIMBAD for papers and previously known sources within about 30' 10' of these positions.

CONCLUSION OF VOTES: we should do BRC 27 AND BRC 34!
