Grain Growth During Protostellar Disk Formation
Yisheng Tu, Zhi-Yun Li, Ka Ho Lam
Recent observations indicate that mm/cm-sized grains may exist in the embedded protostellar disks. How such large grains grow from the micron size (or less) in the earliest phase o…

Ice Age : Chemo-dynamical modeling of Cha-MMS1 to predict new solid-phase species for detection with JWST
Mihwa Jin, Ka Ho Lam, Melissa K. McClure +6
Chemical models and experiments indicate that interstellar dust grains and their ice mantles play an important role in the production of complex organic molecules (COMs). To date,…

Centrifugal Barrier and Super-Keplerian Rotation in Protostellar Disk Formation
Dylan C. Jones, Ka Ho Lam, Zhi-Yun Li +1
With the advent of ALMA, it is now possible to observationally constrain how disks form around deeply embedded protostars. In particular, the recent ALMA C3H2 line observations of…
