Detailed Studies of Cloud Cores: Probing the Initial Conditions for Protostellar Collapse
Philippe Andre, Arnaud Belloche, Patrick Hennebelle +1
Improving our understanding of the earliest stages of star formation is crucial to gain insight into the origin of stellar masses, multiple systems, and protoplanetary disks. We di…
The Structure of Cold Molecular Cloud Cores
D. Ward-Thompson, D. J. Nutter, J. M. Kirk +1
A brief summary is presented of our current knowledge of the structure of cold molecular cloud cores that do not contain protostars, sometimes known as starless cores. The most cen…
Observations of YSO Circumstellar Discs
D. Ward-Thompson, P. Andre, O. P. Lay
We present the results of short baseline interferometry observations at submillimetre wavelengths, using a two-element interferometer comprising the JCMT and CSO, of circumstellar…
From Pre-Stellar Cores to Protostars: The Initial Conditions of Star Formation
Philippe Andre, Derek Ward-Thompson, Mary Barsony
The last decade has witnessed significant advances in our observational understanding of the earliest stages of low-mass star formation. The advent of sensitive receivers on large…
