The Natural Science Underlying Big History

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Nature’s many varied complex systems—including galaxies, stars, planets, life, and society—are islands of order within the increasingly disordered Universe. All organized systems are subject to physical, biological, or cultural evolution, which together comprise the grander interdisciplinary subject of cosmic evolution.

Multiple Outflows around a Single Protostar IRAS 15398−3359

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the results of our mosaic observations of a single Class 0 protostar IRAS 15398−3359 with the Atacama Compact Array in the CO J = 2–1 line.

Merger Conditions of Population III Protostar Binaries

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Massive close binary stars with extremely small separations have been observed, and they are possible progenitors of gravitational-wave sources. The evolution of massive binaries in the protostellar accretion stage is key to understanding their formation

A Massive Protostar Forming by Ordered Collapse of a Dense, Massive Core

open access: yes, 2013
We present 30 and 40 micron imaging of the massive protostar G35.20-0.74 with SOFIA-FORCAST. The high surface density of the natal core around the protostar leads to high extinction, even at these relatively long wavelengths, causing the observed flux to

Formation of Methanol via Fischer‐Tropsch Catalysis by Cosmic Iron Sulphide

open access: yesChemPhysChem, Volume 25, Issue 17, September 2, 2024.
Periodic quantum mechanical simulations evidence the potentiality to synthesise methanol through a Fischer‐Tropsch mechanism in different astrophysical environments facilitated by the catalytic properties of cosmic FeS grains, which are enhanced by the presence of naturally‐occurring point surface defects.

Anomalous Microwave Emission from Star Forming Regions

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
The evidence for microwave emission from spinning dust grains has been strengthened considerably by its detection in a number of discrete astrophysical objects associated with star formation. These detections, in combination with statistical constraints on its presence on large angular scales in the diffuse ISM, have provided strong observational ...

Connecting a Magnetized Disk to a Convective Low-mass Protostar: A Global 3D Model of Boundary Layer Accretion

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In the early stages of star formation, boundary layer accretion, where protostars accrete material from disks extending down to their surfaces, plays a crucial role.

Astrochemical Diagnostics of the Isolated Massive Protostar G28.20-0.05

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We study the astrochemical diagnostics of the isolated massive protostar G28.20-0.05. We analyze data from Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array 1.3 mm observations with a resolution of 0.″2 (∼1000 au). We detect emission from a wealth of species,

Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk). II. Limited Dust Settling and Prominent Snow Surfaces in the Edge-on Class I Disk IRAS 04302+2247

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
While dust disks around optically visible, Class II protostars are found to be vertically thin, when and how dust settles to the midplane are unclear. As part of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array large program, Early Planet Formation in ...

Evolutionary Signatures in the Formation of Low-Mass Protostars. II. Towards Reconciling Models and Observations

open access: yes, 2009
A long-standing problem in low-mass star formation is the "luminosity problem," whereby protostars are underluminous compared to the accretion luminosity expected both from theoretical collapse calculations and arguments based on the minimum accretion ...
