Scientific paper

The authors compare the stellar populations in two nearby star-forming complexes: Taurus-Auriga and L1641. A study of the IRAS-selected population in each cloud suggests that L1641 contains protostellar cores with optical depths larger than those found for any cores in Taurus-Auriga. Other core properties (e.g. kinetic temperature, velocity dispersion) differ as well. Preliminary results based on analysis of IRAS and Einstein data suggest that L1641 is either relatively more efficient in forming massive stars, or more efficient in forming stars at all masses. The reported observational differences in core properties, stellar populations, and star-forming efficiencies are consistent with those predicted for clouds whose early collapse is dominated by magnetic stresses (Taurus-Auriga) as opposed to gravitation (L1641).
