To-do list for Star formation: edit  · history  · watch  · refresh


Here are some tasks you can do:
  • Requests: Current sites of star formation (possibly Gould Belt, Taurus, Ophiuchus, Orion, etc); frequency/duration of star formation (possibly Star formation efficiency)

Star formation and Star Formation currently point to different articles. They should be merged or disambiguated in some way. -- BenRG 09:40, 7 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Ok. Now both point here. --AstroNomer 23:32, Oct 7, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] References to star formations

Hi all.

Could anyone add information about known current star formations? Also is there any current theory on the expected frequency of observable star formations?

-Sjalq

um....... just about every single nebula ever observed Ezkerraldean

[edit] Additions

Wouldn't some coverage of the following information be appropriate for this page?

and the formation of binary star systems? Thanks. — RJH (talk) 14:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Star Formation Nav Box

This partially relates to RJH's comment above. Wikipedia has a range of articles on different aspects of the star formation process with many of them containing excellent material. However, I found from browsing that a lot of that material doesn't seem to be in the right place and that much of it describes the broader picture of star formation rather than the specific sub-object or process mentioned in the article title. It is my opinion that star formation articles need more of a general framework. To that end I've created a nav box for this astronomy subsection to try and give some sense to these articles as whole. I don't claim its perfect, but some sort of unify construct would help focus the topic. --Jason Kirk 15:11, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
