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…
Instrumental performance and results from testing of the BLAST-TNG receiver, submillimeter optics, and MKID arrays
Nicholas Galitzki, Peter Ade, Francesco E. Angile +39
Polarized thermal emission from interstellar dust grains can be used to map magnetic fields in star forming molecular clouds and the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM). The Balloon-…
Revolutionizing our View of Protostellar Multiplicity and Disks: The VLA Nascent Disk and Multiplicity (VANDAM) Survey of the Perseus Molecular Cloud
John J. Tobin, Leslie W. Looney, Zhi-Yun Li +9
There is substantial evidence for disk formation taking place during the early stages of star formation and for most stars being born in multiple systems; however, protostellar mul…
Millimeter-sized grains in the protostellar envelopes: where do they come from?
Yi Hang Valerie Wong, Hiroyuki Hirashita, Zhi-Yun Li
Grain growth during star formation affects the physical and chemical processes in the evolution of star-forming clouds. We investigate the origin of the millimeter (mm)-sized grain…
Angular momentum loss in the envelope-disk transition region of HH 111 protostellar system: evidence for magnetic braking?
Chin-Fei Lee, Hsiang-Chih Hwang, Zhi-Yun Li
HH 111 is a Class I protostellar system at a distance of ~ 400 pc, with the central source VLA 1 associated with a rotating disk deeply embedded in a flattened envelope. Here we pr…
Interferometric mapping of magnetic fields: The ALMA view of the massive star forming clump W43-MM1
Paulo C. Cortes, Josep M. Girart, Charles Hull +6
Here we present the first results from ALMA observations of 1 mm polarized dust emission towards the W43-MM1 high mass star forming clump. We have detected a highly fragmented fila…
