Scientific paper

Since most stars in the Galaxy probably formed in giant molecular clouds, identifying nearly complete samples of low-mass stars in galactic star-forming regions is an important step in understanding the overall star-formation process. Recent X-ray, optical, and near-infrared studies of the galactic HII regions M8, M16, M17 and M20 have significantly increased the number of known cluster stars. By comparing their X-ray and infrared properties with stars in well-studied regions like the Orion Nebula Cluster, we can estimate distance, age and completeness. These studies will be used to assess the prevalence of triggered star-formation.
