| Abstract: |
The distribution of stellar ages shows a distinct difference among star forming
regions in NGC 2264. The result indicates that the star formation in NGC 2264
started from surface region at about 6 – 7 Myr ago,
and propagated into the molecular cloud, and finally triggered the star
formation at Spokes cluster recently. A kind of sequential star formation
started from the low-density surface region implies
that the star formation in NGC 2264 was triggered by an external source. |
