Topic: Baby Stars in the Infrared:
Recent Star Formation Results from Spitzer, Herschel, and WISE

Dr.Luisa Rebull

Dr. Luisa Rebull, guest speaker at the North Virginia Astronomy Club in 2010

Infrared, which is sort of "redder than red" light, allows us to peer into gas and dust, including the cocoons of natal material surrounding very young stars. Studies of star-forming regions in the infrared are revealing previously hidden populations of young stars and helping us to understand how stars form, including stars like our Sun. I will cover the "story of star formation" (at least for stars like our Sun), and share some of the latest results from the Spitzer Space Telescope, the Herschel Space Telescope, and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). I will include a very brief overview of how you, too, can explore these rich professional astronomy data archives.
