Scientific paper

We plan to use the IRAC and MIPS cameras on SIRTF to measure the spatial distribution of the youngest stars in ~ 24 groups and clusters within 1 kpc, and to measure the degree of clustering in 7 star-forming complexes within 350 pc. This program will allow us for the first time to determine systematically how stars in clusters are arranged at birth--their organization into groups, the number, spacing, and density of these groups, their range of stellar ages and their distribution of stellar masses. These observations should strongly constrain models of cluster formation and of the initial mass function.
