Star Forming Regions
Star Forming Regions (SFR) and Young Star Clusters, also called Open Cluster. We list the associations including in our studies:
-
Taurus-Auriga Complex, 1-3 Myr.
-
R CrA dark cloud, about 5 Myr.
-
Chamaeleon II SFR, 5 Myr.
-
Sigma Orionis Cluster, 5 Myr.
-
Lambda Orionis Star Forming Region, 5 Myr.
-
TW Hydra association, 10 Myr.
-
NGC2547, about 40 Myr.
-
IC2391 Open Cluster, 55 Myr
-
Alpha Per Open cluster, 90 Myr.
-
The Pleiades Open Cluster, 125 Myr.

| The young cluster M35 (blue, hot stars) and the old globular cluster NGC2158 (red, faint stars). The Image comes from CFHT telescope and the megacam imager. |  | |
 | The Head of Orion, the Lambda Orionis Star Forming Region. This image, taken with the satellite IRAS at 100 microns in an area 12.5x12.5 degrees, clearly shows the central cluster (the Lambda Orionis cluster or Collinder 69) and several dark clouds, such as Barnard 30 and Barnard 35. |
