Description
We use statistical data giving the number of stars formed as a function
of the age, assigned using the observed deterministic relation between
chromospheric activity and age, to show that the temporal behaviour of
star formation in the solar neighbourhood must have been chaotic during
time intervals of less than 1 Gyr. We also offer evidence that systems
of gas and stars typified by that in the solar vicinity show behaviour
analogous to that of the logistic map.
