Molecular Gas Around Young Stellar Clusters

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We have begun a survey of the molecular gas surrounding 31 young clusters in order to investigate the link between environment and the resulting cluster. We present here a preliminary comparison of two clusters in our sample: GGD12-15 and Mon R2. Since both clusters are located in the MonR2 molecular cloud at a distance of 830 pc, observational biases due to differing sensitivities and angular resolutions are avoided.
