Abstract

In this final chapter we turn our attention away from comparisons of simulations with statistical properties of stars and binary systems, and instead discuss simulations in the context of comparing the outputs to observations of specific young gas-rich clusters. We discuss how clustered environments can shape subsequent stellar properties, for example, the relationship between the number of cluster members and the maximum stellar mass in a cluster, as well as the extent to which protoplanetary discs may be disrupted by dynamical and feedback effects within a cluster. Finally, we discuss whether our solar system and, in particular the Sun, shows evidence of having originated in a clustered environment.
