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…

Magnetic Fields Observed along the E-W Outflow of IRAS 16293-2422

Frankie J. Encalada, Leslie W. Looney, Giles Novak +6

Magnetic fields likely play an important role in the formation of young protostars. Multiscale and multiwavelength dust polarization observations can reveal the inferred magnetic f…

Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk) XIII: Aligned Disks with Non-Settled Dust Around the Newly Resolved Class 0 Protobinary R CrA IRAS 32

Frankie J. Encalada, Leslie W. Looney, Shigehisa Takakuwa +19

Young protostellar binary systems, with expected ages less than 10 years, are little modified since birth, providing key clues to binary formation and evolution. We prese…

Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk). VII. Keplerian Disk, Disk Substructure, and Accretion Streamers in the Class 0 Protostar IRAS 16544-1604 in CB 68

Miyu Kido, Shigehisa Takakuwa, Kazuya Saigo +34

We present observations of the Class 0 protostar IRAS 16544-1604 in CB 68 from the ''Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk)'' ALMA Large program. The ALMA observations ta…

Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk). II. Limited Dust Settling and Prominent Snow Surfaces in the Edge-on Class I Disk IRAS 04302+2247

Zhe-Yu Daniel Lin, Zhi-Yun Li, John J. Tobin +26

While dust disks around optically visible, Class II protostars are found to be vertically thin, when and how dust settles to the midplane are unclear. As part of the Atacama Large…

Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk). I. Overview of the Program and First Results

Nagayoshi Ohashi, John J. Tobin, Jes K. Jørgensen +34

We present an overview of the Large Program, ``Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk)'', conducted with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The ubiqu…

The Twisted Magnetic Field of the Protobinary L483

Erin G. Cox, Giles Novak, Sarah Sadavoy +16

We present H-band (1.65 m) and SOFIA HAWC+ 154 m polarization observations of the low-mass core L483. Our H-band observations reveal a magnetic field that is overwhelmingly i…

The Magnetic Field in the Milky Way Filamentary Bone G47

Ian W. Stephens, Philip C. Myers, Catherine Zucker +21

Star formation primarily occurs in filaments where magnetic fields are expected to be dynamically important. The largest and densest filaments trace spiral structure within galaxie…

HAWC+/SOFIA Polarimetry in L1688: Relative Orientation of Magnetic Field and Elongated Cloud Structure

Dennis Lee, Marc Berthoud, Che-Yu Chen +14

We present a study of the relative orientation between the magnetic field and elongated cloud structures for the Oph A and Oph E regions in L1688 in the Ophiuchus molecular…

870 Micron Dust Continuum of the Youngest Protostars in Ophiuchus

Frankie J. Encalada, Leslie W. Looney, John J. Tobin +5

We present a 0.15 resolution (21 au) ALMA 870 m continuum survey of 25 pointings containing 31 young stellar objects in the Ophiuchus molecular clouds. Using th…
