This summary includes takeaway thoughts about the rapidly evolving state of the field, as well as crowd-sourced predictions for progress over the next ~10 years. We predict the elimination of 1-2 of the currently recognized young moving groups, the addition of 3 or more new moving groups within 100 pc, the continued lack of a predictive theory of stellar mass, robust measurements of the gas and dust content of circumstellar disks, and an ongoing struggle to achieve a consensus definition for a planet.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-03-03T21:00:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "young stars", "predictions", "consensus definition", "takeaway thoughts", "iau symposium" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
