"Propagating Star Formation in Halos around Single
O-star HII Regions"
ABSTRACT: "The vast majority of stars of all masses form in regions in which
rare but prominent high mass O stars are born. It is thus important to understand
the processes and modes of star formation in the harsh environment of HII
regions and PDRs around O stars. This talk will review ongoing observations
of small HII regions surrounding isolated O stars with an emphasis on what
can be learned from sub-millimeter and mid-infrared data. The small size
of the HII regions permits easier acquisition of the multiwavelength data
needed to trace all of the relevant physical components (HI, HII, molecular
gas, and stars) which enables the entire physical chain from triggering source
to emerging stellar population to be investigated."
