Hidden Binaries in Star-forming Regions [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalA significant fraction of, and possibly all, stars form in binary or multiple systems. For solar-mass stars in the Galactic field, the distribution of orbital separations is log-normal over 7 orders of magnitude, from 10 ^−2 to 10 ^5 au.

Organic compounds in star forming regions. [PDF]
Orig Life Evol Biosph, 2014 The influence of complex dust composition on the general chemical evolution of a prestellar core and the content of complex organic compounds is studied. It is shown that various component groups respond differently to the presence of a small dust population.

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 The effects of metallicity on the evolution of protoplanetary disks may be studied in the outer Galaxy where the metallicity is lower than in the solar neighborhood.

Star-Forming Regions in the SMC [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006 AbstractSMC has been going through an active star formation epoch, especially during the last 0.2 Gyr when the close encounter with the LMC occured. Our goal is to detect regions dominated by early-type stars and gas and examine their behaviour at different wavelengths.

Young Stellar Object Candidates in IC 417
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 IC 417 is in the Galactic plane, and likely part of the Aur OB2 association; it is ∼2 kpc away. Stock 8 is one of the densest cluster constituents; off of it to the east, there is a “nebulous stream” (NS) that is dramatic in the infrared (IR).

Water in star- and planet-forming regions [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2012 In this paper, we discuss the astronomical search for water vapour in order to understand the disposition of water in all its phases throughout the processes of star and planet formation. Our ability to detect and study water vapour has recently received a tremendous boost with the successful launch and operation of the ...

HH 80/81: Structure and Kinematics of the Fastest Protostellar Outflow
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images obtained in 2018 are combined with archival HST data taken in 1995 to detect changes and measure proper motions in the HH 80/81 shock complex, which is powered by the fastest known jet driven by a forming star, the ...

Membership Analysis and 3D Kinematics of the Star-forming Complex around Trumpler 37 Using Gaia-DR3
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Identifying and characterizing young populations of star-forming regions are crucial to unraveling their properties. In this regard, Gaia-DR3 data and machine-learning tools are very useful for studying large star-forming complexes.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We observed the high-mass star-forming core G336.01–0.82 at 1.3 mm and 0.″05 (∼150 au) angular resolution with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) as part of the Digging into the Interior of Hot Cores with ALMA survey.

Dusty magnetohydrodynamics in star-forming regions [PDF]
Journal of Plasma Physics, 2010 AbstractStar formation occurs in dark molecular regions where the number density of hydrogen nuclei nH exceeds 104 cm−3 and the fractional ionization is 10−7 or less. Dust grains with sizes ranging up to tenths of microns and perhaps down to tens of nanometers contain just less than 1% of the mass.
