The mass distribution of protostellar and starless cores in Gould Belt clouds

The mass distribution of protostellar and starless cores in Gould Belt clouds

Using data from the SCUBA Legacy Catalogue (850 µm) and Spitzer (3.6 - 70 µm), we explore dense cores in the Ophiuchus, Taurus, Perseus, Serpens, and Orion molecular clouds. In particular, we focus on identifying which cores host young stars while others remain starless. Understanding the nature o...
