Uncovering the Origin of Slow Rotators among Intermediate-Mass Stars in the Star-Forming Cluster Trumpler 14

Khushboo K. Rao, Wen-Ping Chen, Hsiang-Yu Chen +2

Intermediate-mass (about 1.5-8 M) stars exhibit a wide range of rotation rates and have gained attention for their roles in the extended main-sequence turnoffs (eMSTO) se…

Preferential alignment of Class 0, Class I protostellar disks in multiple systems across nine nearby molecular clouds

Cheng-Han Hsieh, Aleksey Generozov, Stella S. R. Offner +6

Protostellar disk orientations in multiple systems provide critical insights into the primary mechanisms that govern the formation of multiple-star systems, their subsequent dynami…

The bound origin of low-mass stellar binaries

A. Generozov, S. S. R. Offner, K. M. Kratter +3

Most main sequence stars, unlike our Sun, belong to multiple systems with two or more stars. How and when these multiples come together and become bound is uncertain, since the ear…

Protostellar Outflows Shed Light on the Dominant Close Companion Star Formation Pathways

Ryan Sponzilli, Leslie Looney, John J. Tobin +11

Understanding the formation pathway for close-companion protostars is central to unraveling the processes that govern stellar multiplicity and very early star formation. We analyze…

The Luminosity Problem: Testing Theories of Star Formation

C. F. McKee, S. S. R. Offner

Low-mass protostars are less luminous than expected. This luminosity problem is important because the observations appear to be inconsistent with some of the basic premises of star…
