Scientific paper

We propose to use the Planetary Camera to extend the search for low mass members of the "Trapezium Cluster" to M ~ 0.1 solar masses in order to test theories of bimodal star formation. The immediate goal of these observations is to identify cluster members to V ~ 19.5, and to derive the cluster luminosity function to that limit. By combining these images with ground-based spectroscopy and IR images, we will derive the initial mass function and test for coeval star formation in the densest star-forming region near the Sun.
