Star Formation in the Galaxy

Environment, the CMF, and the IMF — colloquium tour, Adam Ginsburg (University of Florida)

A guided pass through the datasets behind the argument: local clouds are a biased benchmark, dense protoclusters and the CMZ produce a top-heavy core mass function, and internal heating from hot cores plausibly links the two. Technical level; numbers and references in the panel.
