Scientific paper

In our previous survey of Bok globules in search of small clusters forming within these isolated regions, we found evidence in the MIPS data for two small clusters forming near our original targets. We propose Spitzer IRAC observations of these small extensions of our current IRAC maps in CB 34 and CB 58 so that we will have a complete census of the young stellar objects (YSOs) in these regions. CB 34 appears to be a cluster forming in isolation, whereas CB 58 appears to have the morphology of a bright-rimmed cloud. With these observations, and combined with existing near-infrared and radio data, we will measure the star formation efficiency in these Bok globules. In addition, we will study the role environment plays in star formation by comparing the properties of YSOs in Bok globules, which are relatively isolated from outside influences, with bright-rimmed clouds, which are examples of triggered star formation.
