= > in this proposal, more time is being requested for fgarzon.phvsburs = it is our aim to use innovative techniques, made possible by the use of iso instrumentation, to investigate the parameters that control the formation of stars in stellar systems. to this end, estimates of the stellar mass, in several regions of recent star formation, as well as a variety of measurements revealing the physical properties (density, metal content, gas to dust ratio, temperature, mass, etc) of the star forming clouds are envisaged. the project demands a well coordinated investigation of regions of recent star formation in a variety of galaxies, in order to determine the various factors that control the strength of a star formation burst. thus, the aim is to infer the total mass in newly formed stars as well as the properties of the star forming cloud, to determine in this way a definite correlation. with this aim in mind, we propose to investigate in detail the far ir properties of star forming regions.

Mission Description
The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) was the world's first true orbiting infrared observatory. Equipped with four highly-sophisticated and versatile scientific instruments, it was launched by Ariane in November 1995 and provided astronomers world-wide with a facility of unprecedented sensitivity and capabilities for a detailed exploration of the Universe at infrared wavelengths.
