The Naming of Stars and the Study of Protostars [PDF]
AbstractThe logic of naming stars could be based more on physical principles as happened in the naming of resonances in Particle Physics. A possible system might be based on extensive Monte Carlo studies of protostars followed by standard Stellar Evolutionary Model calculations.

The Formation of Stars -- From Filaments to Cores to Protostars and Protoplanetry Disks [PDF]
Star formation involves the flow of gas and dust within molecular clouds into protostars and young stellar objects (YSOs) due to gravity. Along the way, these flows are shaped significantly by many other mechanisms, including pressure, turbulent motions, magnetic fields, stellar feedback, jets, and angular momentum.

IRAS 18317−0757: A Cluster of Embedded Massive Stars and Protostars [PDF]
We present high-resolution, multiwavelength continuum and molecular-line images of the massive star forming region IRAS 18317-0757. The IR through mm spectral energy distribution can be approximated by a two-temperature model (25 and 63 K) with a total luminosity of approximately log(L/Lsun)=5.2.

X-rays from jet-driving protostars and T Tauri stars [PDF]
(abridged:) We study X-rays from jet-driving protostars and T Tau stars. We seek soft spectral components that may be due to shock emission, and shock-induced emission displaced from the stellar position. Two stellar samples are used, the first consisting of lightly absorbed T Tau stars with strong jets, the other containing protostars with disks seen ...

Disks and outflows around intermediate-mass stars and protostars [PDF]
In order to study the existence and evolution of circumstellar disks around intermediate-mass stars (M 3M), we have obtained single-dish and interferometric continuum images at 2.6 mm and 1.3 mm of the intermediate-mass protostar NGC 7129 FIRS 2 and of the Herbig Be stars LkH 234 and HD 200775.

How Do Stars Gain Their Mass? A JCMT/SCUBA-2 Transient Survey of Protostars in Nearby Star-forming Regions [PDF]
Abstract Most protostars have luminosities that are fainter than expected from steady accretion over the protostellar lifetime. The solution to this problem may lie in episodic mass accretion—prolonged periods of very low accretion punctuated by short bursts of rapid accretion.

NMA Imaging of Envelopes and Disks around Low Mass Protostars and T Tauri Stars [PDF]
We are intensively studying low mass star formation with the radio telescopes at Nobeyama in Japan. Using both the Nobeyama 45 m dish equipped with a 2 × 2 array receiver and the Nobeyama Millimeter Array (NMA), we can cover a very wide spatial range from overall molecular clouds down to compact protoplanetary disks.

On the Similarity of FU Orionis Stars to Class I Protostars: Evidence from the Submillimeter [PDF]
On the basis of analysis of new submillimeter maps of a sample of most known FU Orionis stars, we confirm that these stars are extremely young, more similar to Class I protostars than to Class II T Tauri stars. The submillimeter maps reveal that FU Orionis stars have accretion disks that are larger and contain an order of magnitude more mass than those
