Scientific paper

The formation of most stars in the Galaxy appears to be triggered by some external compression processes such as OB ionization, winds or supernovae. Quantitative understanding of triggering processes is still primitive. The radiation driven implosion (RDI) is the most observationally testable model using bright rimmed clouds (BRCs) on the edges of large HII regions. This combined GTO+GO Chandra ACIS-I proposal is part of our multi-wavelength program to map the IC1396 HII region in order to study contribution of RDI triggered stellar population to the total population of the region. This specific pointing is aimed at studying underlying stellar population of the famous BRC Elephant Trunk nebula.
