Star Formation: Massive Stars, Star Formation: H Ii Regions

Scientific paper

Massive stars seem to be formed in two different, and indeed quite extreme regimes: a very low-efficiency process (typically less than 1%) associated with the formation of expanding OB associations, and a much higher efficiency mode (the starburst mode) that leads to the formation of bound clusters (Lada, 1985). Clearly, large numbers of massive stars can only form at the density peaks of very massive molecular c1ouds, while loose OB associations tend to form at the edges of clouds.
