Science Goals as “Frontier” Opportunities:
1) From which star-forming events do most sun-like stars in the Milky Way (and other galaxies) come?

Spatial Variations in the Ratio of Stars to Sub-stellar Objects:Primordial or Dynamical Evolution?

A ‘Cluster’ is BOUND: Total Energy < 0An Association is not (V. Ambartsumian, 1951)
And these BOUND clusters are RARE (< 10 % of SF in galactic disk).
![Page 13: The Final (?) Frontier of Star and Planet Formation: Piled Deeper and Wider Michael R. Meyer](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013101/5681449d550346895db14cb1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Lada & Lada (2003); Adams (2010); Carpenter (2000); Allen et al. (2007)
What if SFE is independent of total “event” mass?
dNcl/dMcl ~ Mcl-2
Equal log-range of cluster mass contribute equally to total mass.
Then 10 % of each ends up bound, 90 % in the field.
What controls SFE and thus determines which stars end up in field?

Thermal IR imaging offers various advantages (in BLIP):
JWST best for faint primaries at large separations
Thermal emission of planets vs. reflected light of
planets (in particular for young
sources)
Better performance in thermal IR due to
sensitivity increase in the for surveys in future
