Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk). III. A First High-resolution View of Submillimeter Continuum and Molecular Line Emission toward the Class 0 Protostar L1527 IRS

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Studying the physical and chemical conditions of young embedded disks is crucial to constrain the initial conditions for planet formation. Here we present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of dust continuum at ∼0.″06 (8 au ...

Studying the Effect of Radiation Pressure on Evolution of a Population III Stellar Cluster

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent numerical simulations have shown that the unstable disk within the central regime of the primordial gas cloud fragments to form multiple protostars on several scales.

Jets in Low-Mass Protostars

open access: yesUniverse
Jets and outflows are key components of low-mass star formation, regulating accretion and shaping the surrounding molecular clouds. These flows, traced by molecular species at (sub)millimeter wavelengths (e.g., CO, SiO, SO, H2CO, and CH3OH) and by atomic,

Continuum Variability of Deeply Embedded Protostars as a Probe of Envelope Structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Stars may be assembled in large growth spurts, however the evidence for this hypothesis is circumstantial. Directly studying the accretion at the earliest phases of stellar growth is challenging because young stars are deeply embedded in optically thick ...

Key Physical Parameters Influencing Fragmentation and Multiplicity in Dense Cores of Orion A

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
When dense cores in molecular clouds or filamentary structures collapse and form protostars, they may undergo fragmentation and form binary or multiple systems.

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.

Protostellar half-life: new methodology and estimates

open access: yes, 2018
(Abridged) Protostellar systems evolve from prestellar cores, through the deeply embedded stage and then disk-dominated stage, before they end up on the main sequence.

Detections of Compact Radio Continuum toward Methanol Maser Rings Using the VLA

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
High-mass protostars are deeply embedded in dust inside their natal cores and are not easily detectable. However, maser emission at centimeter wavelengths, owing to its high brightness, enables us to study gas kinematics in protostars’ circumstellar ...

Chemical Evolution of Protostars [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysics and Space Science, 2005
This review discusses the evolution of the chemical composition of the molecular gas throughout the process of star formation. It covers the initial stages of cloud-core formation, gravitational collapse and the formation of the star, the effects of stellar radiation and outflows on the surrounding cloud, and the composition of the circumstellar disk ...

Investigating Protostellar Accretion-driven Outflows across the Mass Spectrum: JWST NIRSpec Integral Field Unit 3–5 μm Spectral Mapping of Five Young Protostars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Investigating Protostellar Accretion is a Cycle 1 JWST program using the NIRSpec+MIRI integral field units to obtain 2.9–28 μ m spectral cubes of five young protostars with luminosities of 0.2–10,000 L _⊙ in their primary accretion phase.
