Physics

Scientific paper

We propose to image the massive star forming region W5 with IRAC and MIPS, to determine the importance of triggering in massive star forming regions. Spitzer is uniquely equipped to identify the young stars and protostars over a large area of sky through their infrared excess emission. Finding all the current sites of star formation in W5 will allow us to determine whether or not star formation on a large scale is dominated by triggering. Because of its geometry (and geography), W5 is an ideal candidate for a study of this kind.
