In the past two decades, astronomers have discovered an abundance
of young stars within ~100 parsecs of the Sun. Thanks to their
proximity, these stars provide unique opportunities to investigate
early stellar evolution, and they offer readily accessible targets
for direct imaging and other measurements of dusty circumstellar
disks, newly-formed brown dwarfs and, especially, young exoplanets.
This volume highlights major advances in our understanding of the
early evolution of stars and planetary systems flowing from
investigations of nearby young stars. It features contributions
that approach such studies from a wide variety of directions: the
identification, ages, and origins of local young moving groups;
early stellar evolution from theoretical and observational
perspectives; and aspects of nascent or recently formed exoplanet
systems. This up-to-date reference on local groups of young stars
and their ability to aid the widening search for exoplanets
addresses advanced students and researchers in the field.
