Star Formation in your Back Yard: The Spitzer-Identified Young Stellar Objects within 1 kpc of the Sun
Abstract
We review results on Spitzer-based studies of star forming regions within 1 kpc of the Sun. In particlular, we present an analysis of the spatial distributions of Spitzer-identified young stellar objects, and discuss the implications for star formation on various scales from clusters to giant molecular clouds.
