Studying Young Stars with Large Spectroscopic Surveys
Sarah L. Martell (School of Physics, University of New South Wales)
TL;DR
This paper explores how large spectroscopic surveys can be utilized to study young stars, providing insights into star formation and chemical evolution in the Milky Way, thereby supporting galactic archaeology.
Contribution
It demonstrates the potential of existing spectroscopic surveys as a data source for young star research, linking galactic archaeology with star formation studies.
Findings
Spectroscopic surveys can effectively identify and analyze young stars.
Young star data from surveys inform initial mass function and star formation rate.
The approach enhances understanding of Milky Way's formation history.
Abstract
Galactic archaeology is the study of the history of star formation and chemical evolution in the Milky Way, based on present-day stellar populations. Studies of young stars are a key anchor point for Galactic archaeology, since quantities like the initial mass function and the star formation rate can be studied directly in young clusters and star forming regions. Conversely, massive spectroscopic Galactic archaeology surveys can be used as a data source for young star studies.
