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.

Modelling and observations of molecules in discs around young stars [PDF]
This thesis contains a study of molecules within circumstellar discs around young stars. Firstly, the chemistry of a disc around a young, Class 0 protostar is modelled.

Pulsational instability of supergiant protostars: do they grow supermassive by accretion? [PDF]
Supermassive stars (SMSs; M* ≳ 10[5] M⊙) and their remnant black holes are promising progenitors for supermassive black holes (SMBHs) observed in the early universe at z ≳ 7. It has been postulated that SMSs form through very rapid mass accretion on to a

The Role of Benzonitrile Chlorination Explored by Dissociative Electron Attachment
Experimental and theoretical dissociative electron attachment study of 2‐ and 4‐chlorobenzonitrile. The dissociative electron attachment process to ortho‐ and para‐chlorobenzonitrile was investigated in the 0–12 eV energy range with a crossed‐beam time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer, supported by quantum chemical scattering calculations.

Star formation in the Magellanic Clouds - IV. Protostars in the vicinity of 30 Doradus [PDF]
From a magnitude-limited infrared survey of the 30 Doradus complex four candidate protostars have been identified. These are associated with dense knots in the nebular arcs, and have luminosities of 1-5 × 10 4 L ⊙ and masses of 15-20 M ⊙ . The results indicate that both the knots and the associated star formation are likely to be caused by the ...

Small‐scale elemental abundance variations in Ryugu particles from touchdown 1
Abstract Ryugu materials closely resemble CI chondrites' mineralogical, chemical, and isotopic compositions; yet minor but resolvable differences in certain elemental abundances are evident. In this study, the bulk chemical compositions of eight individual Ryugu particles (1.5–4.3 mg) from the first touchdown site (TD1) were determined using triple ...

High resolution studies of early type emission line stars [PDF]
This thesis presents a study of early type, emission line objects on small angular scales. Spectroastrometry is used to separate the spectra of unresolved Herbig Ae/Be binary systems.

Satellites and Small Bodies With ALMA: Insights Into Solar System Formation and Evolution
Abstract Our understanding of the formation and evolution of planetary systems has made major advances in the past decade. This progress has been driven in large part by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), which has given us an unprecedented view of solar system bodies themselves, and of the structure and chemistry of forming ...

Hydrodynamic Modeling of the Interaction of Winds within a Collapsing Turbulent Gas Cloud
By using the particle‐based code Gadget2, we follow the evolution of a gas giant molecular cloud, in which a set of gas particles representing the wind are created by a Monte Carlo scheme and suddenly move outwards from the cloud’s center. The particles representing the gas cloud initially have a velocity according to a turbulent spectrum built in a ...

The presence of interstellar complex organic molecules (COMs) has been baffling astrochemists for a long time. Methyl formate and glycolaldehyde are widely detected but their abundances mismatch kinetic astrochemical model predictions. Here, the formation of these two COMs is characterized onto a mixed ice surface, highlighting the importance of ...
