Beads on a string = clustered star formation Assymetric drift =
Spurs from KH instabilities = SF on leading side of spirals Galactic dynamics matter to star formation! Several environments for SF found in the same disk Disk dynamics (shear, pitch angle etc) set the conditions for star formation Down to what scale?
