1. Star Formation in a Dynamic Interstellar Medium Workshop hosted by the Yale University Astronomy Department May 20, 2002 Simulation is a preview of work by Bate, Bonnell & Bromm…stay tuned

2. The Plan TimeSpeakerTopic 09:40Alyssa Goodman (CfA/Yale)Introduction 10:00Phil Myers (CfA)What are the properties of the observed environment for star formation? 10:40Coffee Break 11:00Richard LarsonWhat are the real observational constraints on the IMF? 11:40Paolo Padoan (Caltech/JPL)What have we learned from numerical simulations of the star-forming ISM, on >1 pc scales? 12:20Lunch 1:50Bruce Elmegreen (IBM)On what scale is an IMF determined, and how might the answer to this question change? (Opinion #1) 2:30Ian Bonnell (U. St. Andrews)On what scale is an IMF determined, and how might the answer to this question change? (Opinion #2; simulation figure above from Bate, Bonnell & Bromm) 3:10Coffee Break 3:30Richard Larson (Yale)Thoughts, and an open fourm, on the day's presentations 4:00Meeting Adjourns, but those interested stay on to chat
