An X-ray Census of YSOs in an IRDC interacting with a SNR
Abstract
Supernova remnants (SNRs) contribute to regulate the star formation efficiency and time evolution of galaxies. However, observationally there are currently few constraints on the detailed star formation properties of molecular cloud that is affected by the interaction with SNRs. To address this issue we propose to perform an X-ray census with Chandra/ACIS, towards the young stellar population in G34.77. G34.77 is a massive infrared dark cloud (IRDC), i.e., cold and dense cloud in the earliest stage of star cluster formation, and also among the best known sites of SNR-cloud interaction. The proposed study will give constraints on the star formation timescale, efficiency, and shape of initial mass function in this SNR-IRDC interaction environment.
