Stars are central to our comprehension of the universe; they dominate the night sky and help us study galaxies and exoplanets. Understanding stars also involves exploring their origins and masses, which dictate their properties and life cycles. Despite considerable knowledge about individual stars, our understanding of star formation en masse, particularly the statistics of different types (like sun-like, red dwarfs, and massive stars) and their origins from gas clouds, remains limited. This inquiry is vital for grasping not only the cosmos but our place within it.
To study stars is to study ourselves, as the heavier elements making up our planet were forged in stars long ago.
While we understand how individual stars are born, gaps remain about their statistics en masse, particularly regarding the diverse origins from gas clouds.
