Clustered Star Formation: A Review

Richard J. Parker

Published 2012-07-31Version 1

In this contribution I present a review of star formation in clusters. I begin by discussing the various definitions of what constitutes a star cluster, and then compare the outcome of star formation (IMF, multiplicity, mass segregation and structure and morphology) in different star-forming regions. I also review recent numerical models of star formation in clusters, before ending with a summary of the potential effects of dynamical evolution in star clusters.

Comments: 6 pages, invited review to appear in the proceedings of 'The Labyrinth of Star Formation', Crete, 18-22 June 2012
