Deep imaging at J , H , and K is required to identify all stellar objects, brown dwarfs, and planetary mass objects in the central region of the Orion Nebula Cluster down to masses comparable to that of Jupiter. This is required to establish the initial mass function, i.e., the number of stars of each mass that have formed, in this region of intense massive star formation. ...

PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF HIGH MASS STAR FORMING REGIONS I.I. Zinchenko Institute of Applied Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences 46 Uljanov str., ... Basic physical properties of detected clumps and molecular abundances were derived. ... In particular, we found that in regions of high mass star formation the CS emission correlates well with the dust continuum emission and is therefore a good tracer of the total mass while the N 2 H + distribution is frequently very di#erent. ...

... We assume that an instantaneous starburst occured in the region of the Galactic center, with half of the stars (in number) being formed in binaries. The total mass of the stars formed during the starburst was taken to be , as indicated by the Tamblyn & Rieke (1993) analysis. ... In fact, the number of stars in IRS 16 estimated by Tamblyn & Rieke (1993) is uncertain within a factor of 2, but this is actually of no importance as long as we only use relative numbers of different X-ray source species. ...
