Pitfalls when observationally characterizing the relative formation rates of stars and stellar clusters in galaxies

Stars generally form in aggregates, some of which are bound (‘clusters’) while others are unbound and disperse on short ($${\sim }10 {\,{\rm Myr}}$$) time-scales (‘associations’). The fraction of stars forming in bound clusters (Γ) is a fundamental outcome of the star formation process. Recent obser...
