Massive Star Formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The enormous radiative and mechanical luminosities of massive stars impact a vast range of scales and processes, from the reionization of the universe, to the evolution of galaxies, to the regulation of the interstellar medium, to the formation of star clusters, and even to the formation of planets around stars in such clusters.

Theory of Star Formation [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2007
We review current understanding of star formation, outlining an overall theoretical framework and the observations that motivate it. A conception of star formation has emerged in which turbulence plays a dual role, both creating overdensities to initiate gravitational contraction or collapse, and countering the effects of gravity in these overdense ...

Impact Induced Oxidation and Its Implications for Early Mars Climate

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
H2 in a CO2 atmosphere may serve as a potential solution to the early Mars climate paradox, but its unknown sources cast doubts on the proposed mechanism. Impact cratering is an energetic process that may modify the surface redox budget.

Evidence for Very Early Planetesimal Formation and 26Al/27Al Heterogeneity in the Protoplanetary Disk

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present a U-corrected Pb–Pb age of 4566.19 ± 0.20 Ma (1.11 ± 0.26 Myr after t _0 ) for the moderately volatile element rich, andesitic meteorite Erg Chech 002 (EC002). Our Al–Mg isochron defines a ^26 Al/ ^27 Al initial ratio of (8.65 ± 0.09) × 10 ^−6

The Perseus ALMA Chemistry Survey (PEACHES). II. Sulfur-bearing Species and Dust Polarization Revealing Shocked Regions in Protostars in the Perseus Molecular Cloud

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In protostellar cores, sulfur species are effective probes for the energetic environments, such as shocked regions. With the majority of sulfur depleted on dust grains, sulfur-bearing molecules could be liberated back to gas phase by shocks associated ...

Modeling Two First Hydrostatic Core Candidates Barnard 1b-N and 1b-S

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
A first hydrostatic core (FHC) is proposed to form after the initial collapse of a prestellar core, as a seed of a Class 0 protostar. FHCs are difficult to observe because they are small, compact, embedded, and short lived.

Triple Spiral Arms of a Triple Protostar System Imaged in Molecular Lines

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Most stars form in multiple-star systems. For a better understanding of their formation processes, it is important to resolve the individual protostellar components and the surrounding envelope and disk material at the earliest possible formation epoch ...
