| Abstract: |
With a group of European colleagues, whose names are listed in the
Acknowledgments, we have undertaken a systematic study of the star
formation process in the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds (MCs). To this
end we have characterised and compared the physical properties of
pre-main sequence (PMS) stars spanning a wide range of masses (0.5 –
4 M☉), metallicities (0.1–1 Z☉) and ages (0.5 –
30 Myr), determined through accurate photometry with the Hubble Space
Telescope (HST). This is presently the largest and most homogeneous
sample of PMS objects with known physical properties. The main results
of this ongoing study are briefly summarised here. |
