Invited talk The Role of Star Clusters in Star Formation from Local to Galaxy Scales The Role of Star Clusters in Star Formation from Local to Galaxy Scales

Description

In this review I will address the question of what fraction of star formation occurs in 'clusters'. I will first discuss the various definitions of clustered star formation, before focusing on the important question of why this matters for other research disciplines in astrophysics. As a spoiler, I can reveal now that I won't (can't) answer the first part of the question in my talk title.
