Star formation background information
General overview of star formation -- textbooks, overview articles, good things for general knowledge.

Luisa's blog posting on the 'story of star formation' (very similar text!)
Notes from a U of Oregon lecture on star formation ... not as good as Luisa's lecture notes but a good launching point ... http://abyss.uoregon.edu/~js/ast122/lectures/lec13.html

Got anything to add?
Lynds
In the 1960s, Beverly Lynds studied the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS) plates and made a list of things she thought were bright or dark nebulae. These of course were subjective judgements, but they are often pretty, and often forming stars. Many Lynds clouds are famous star forming regions. There are already lots of observations of Lynds clouds in the Spitzer archive. We need to find something that is both as yet unobserved, but also likely to at least make a pretty picture, if not actually result in the discovery of some new baby stars.
I have looked for but have not found a biography of Lynds. Can anyone else find one?

Several of the things we will be doing are similar, and several will be different.
IC 2118 Current Research Activities (2004-2008), Lynds Clouds Current Research Activities (2008), CG4 Current Research Activities (2010), and BRC Current Research Activities (2011).
