A Triple Protostar System Formed via Fragmentation of a Gravitationally Unstable Disk

John Tobin, Kaitlin Kratter, Magnus Persson +9

Binary and multiple star systems are a frequent outcome of the star formation process, and as a result, almost half of all sun-like stars have at least one companion star. Theoreti…

Robustness of N2H+ as tracer of the CO snowline

Merel L. R. van 't Hoff, Catherine Walsh, Mihkel Kama +2

[Abridged] Snowlines in protoplanetary disks play an important role in planet formation and composition. Since the CO snowline is difficult to observe directly with CO emission, it…

The ALMA detection of CO rotational line emission in AGB stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud

M. A. T. Groenewegen, W. H. T. Vlemmings, P. Marigo +21

Context: Low- and intermediate-mass stars lose most of their stellar mass at the end of their lives on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). Determining gas and dust mass-loss rates (…

The link between solenoidal turbulence and slow star formation in G0.253+0.016

C. Federrath, J. M. Rathborne, S. N. Longmore +8

Star formation in the Galactic disc is primarily controlled by gravity, turbulence, and magnetic fields. It is not clear that this also applies to star formation near the Galactic…

The disappearing act: A dusty wind eclipsing RW Aur

I. Bozhinova, A. Scholz, G. Costigan +8

RW Aur is a young binary star that experienced a deep dimming in 2010-11 in component A and a second even deeper dimming from summer 2014 to summer 2016. We present new unresolved…

Spin equilibrium in strongly-magnetized accreting stars

Caroline D'Angelo

Strongly magnetized accreting stars are often hypothesized to be in `spin equilibrium' with their surrounding accretion flows, which requires that the accretion rate changes more s…
