Abstract

We discuss theoretical aspects of binary and multiple star formation, focusing on their formation in stellar clusters. First, we review individual processes that may occur during the formation of binary and multiple stars: fragmentation, accretion, interactions with circumstellar discs, and dynamical interactions. We then discuss the results from a recent large-scale hydrodynamical calculation of cluster formation in which all of these processes occur simultaneously, examining the formation mechanisms and resulting properties of the binary and multiple stars in this cluster.
