SPICY 30021: an embedded bona fide FUor with a mid-infrared precursor
Zhen Guo, Calum Morris, Vitor Fermiano +37
Unstable mass accretion in young stellar objects (YSOs) often leads to observable outbursts, which play a key role in stellar mass assembly during pre-main-sequence evolution. The…
Hot water emission during an outburst in a classical T Tauri star
Zhen Guo, Javier Osses, Vitor Fermiano +34
In this paper, we present observations of an eruptive young star in the Rosette Nebula, identified by the Gaia Science Alerts system using Gaia time series data. We aim to investig…
Gaia24ccy: An outburst followed the footsteps of its predecessor
Koshvendra Singh, Joe P. Ninan, Zhen Guo +25
Accretion-driven outbursts in young stellar objects remain poorly understood, largely limited by a statistically small sample of closely followed-up events. This underscores the im…
Searching for White Dwarf Candidates Formed Through Binary evolution in Star Clusters
Huahui Yan, Li Wang, David R. Miller +11
White dwarfs (WDs), the evolutionary endpoints of most stars, can form through both single-star and binary channels. While single-star evolutionary models enable reliable WD age es…
VVV-WIT-13: an eruptive young star with cool molecular features
Zhen Guo, Philip Lucas, Sergey N. Yurchenko +27
Here we investigate an infrared eruptive source, identified from the decade-long VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea survey (VVV). We named this target after a group of variable sour…
"Oh FUors where art thou": A search for long-lasting YSO outbursts hiding in infrared surveys
Carlos Contreras Peña, Jeong-Eun Lee, Ho-Gyu Lee +11
Long-lasting episodes of high accretion can strongly impact stellar and planetary formation. However, the universality of these events during the formation of young stellar objects…
Confirmation of a ring structure in the disk around MP Mus (PDS 66) with ALMA Band 7 observations
Aurora Aguayo, Claudio Caceres, Zhen Guo +10
Young stellar objects (YSOs) are surrounded by protoplanetary disks, which are the birthplace of young planets. Ring and gap structures are observed among evolved protoplanetary di…
Can near-to-mid infrared spectral energy distribution quantitatively trace protoplanetary disk evolution?
Mingchao Liu, Jinhua He, Zhen Guo +2
Infrared (IR) spectral energy distribution (SED) is the major tracer of protoplanetary disks. It was recently proposed to use the near-to-mid IR (or K-24) SED slope defined bet…
Search for Brown Dwarfs in IC 1396 with Subaru HSC: Interpreting the Impact of Environmental Factors on Sub-stellar Population
Saumya Gupta, Jessy Jose, Swagat Ranjan Das +4
Young stellar clusters are predominantly the hub of star formation and hence, ideal to perform comprehensive studies over the least explored sub-stellar regime. Various unanswered…
On the incidence of episodic accretion in Class I YSOs from VVV
Carlos Contreras Peña, Philip W. Lucas, Zhen Guo +1
Episodic accretion is one of the competing models to explain the observed luminosity spread in young stellar clusters. These short-lived high accretion events could also have a str…
Multi-wavelength detection of an ongoing FUOr-type outburst on a low-mass YSO
Zhen Guo, P. W. Lucas, R. G. Kurtev +13
During the pre-main-sequence evolution, Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) assemble most of their mass during the episodic accretion process. The rarely seen FUOr-type events (FUOrs) are…
Spectroscopic confirmation of high-amplitude eruptive YSOs and dipping giants from the VVV survey
Zhen Guo, P. W. Lucas, R. Kurtev +17
During the pre-main-sequence (pre-MS) evolution stage of a star, significant amounts of stellar mass are accreted during episodic accretion events, such as multi-decade FUor-type o…
VVV-WIT-12 and its fashionable nebula: a four year long period Young Stellar Object with a light echo?
Roberto K. Saito, Bringfried Stecklum, Dante Minniti +7
We report the serendipitous discovery of VVV-WIT-12, an unusual variable source that seems to induce variability in its surrounding nebula. The source belongs to the rare objects t…
Short and long term near-infrared spectroscopic variability of eruptive protostars from VVV
Zhen Guo, P. W. Lucas, C. Contreras Peña +7
Numerous eruptive variable young stellar objects (YSOs), mostly Class I systems, were recently detected by the near-infrared Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey. We pres…
