Mass and luminosity evolution of young stellar objects

open access: yes, 2012
A model of protostar mass and luminosity evolution in clusters gives new estimates of cluster age, protostar birthrate, accretion rate and mean accretion time.

Disk Wind Feedback from High-mass Protostars. IV. Shock-ionized Jets

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Massive protostars launch accretion-powered, magnetically collimated outflows, which play crucial roles in the dynamics and diagnostics of the star formation process. Here we calculate the shock heating and resulting free–free radio emission in numerical

Spitzer Space Telescope Spectroscopy of Ices toward Low-Mass Embedded Protostars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Sensitive 5-38 μm Spitzer Space Telescope and ground-based 3-5 μm spectra of the embedded low-mass protostars B5 IRS1 and HH 46 IRS show deep ice absorption bands superposed on steeply rising mid-infrared continua.

The N2D+/N2H+ ratio as an evolutionary tracer of Class 0 protostars

open access: yes, 2008
Deuterated ions are abundant in cold (T=10 K), dense (n=10^5 cm^-3) regions, in which CO is frozen out onto dust grains. In such environments, the deuterium fractionation of such ions can exceed the elemental abundance ratio of D/H by a factor of 10^4 ...

ngVLA Synthetic Observations of Ionized Gas in Massive Protostars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Massive-star formation involves significant ionization in the innermost regions near the central object, such as gravitationally trapped H ii regions, jets, ionized disks, or winds. Resolved observations of the associated continuum and recombination line

A submillimetre survey of the kinematics of the Perseus molecular cloud - III. Clump kinematics

open access: yes, 2010
We explore the kinematics of continuum clumps in the Perseus molecular cloud, derived from C18O J=3-2 data. Two populations are examined, identified using the automated algorithms CLFIND and GAUSSCLUMPS on existing SCUBA data.

Protostellar Disk Formation Regimes: Angular Momentum Conservation versus Magnetic Braking

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Protostellar disks around young protostars exhibit diverse properties, with their radii ranging from less than ten to several hundred astronomical units.

Theory of Disk Accretion onto Magnetic Stars

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2014
Disk accretion onto magnetic stars occurs in a variety of systems, including accreting neutron stars (with both high and low magnetic fields), white dwarfs, and protostars.

Episodic accretion, radiative feedback, and their role in low-mass star formation

open access: yes, 2011
It is speculated that the accretion of material onto young protostars is episodic. We present a computational method to include the effects of episodic accretion in radiation hydrodynamic simulations of star formation.

Strong irradiation of protostellar cores in Corona Australis

open access: yes, 2012
The importance of the physical environment in the evolution of newly formed low-mass stars remains an open question. In particular, radiation from nearby more massive stars may affect both the physical and chemical structure of these kinds of young stars.
