The Star Formation Journal Club is a forum in which we discuss recent
articles of interest in the literature. Our principal focus is on star
and planet formation. The format is informal, and we welcome
talks from visitors to the CfA. We meet every
Wednesday during the
school year, at
11:30 in Phillips Auditorium.
