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…
Conspicuous Gas, Cryptic Dust: Spectroscopy and Chromaticity of Complex Periodic Variables
Luke G. Bouma, Facundo Perez Paolino, Lynne A. Hillenbrand +17
Complex periodic variables (CPVs) are young low-mass stars whose light curves show periodic dips indicative of transiting corotating material. The origin and composition of this ma…

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…
A Parameterized YSO Accretion Disk Model with Increasing Accretion Rate: Predicted Outburst Lightcurves

A sub-class among Young Stellar Objects (YSOs), known as FU Ori type stars, undergo sudden rises in luminosity by several orders of magnitude on timescales of a few months to a few…
Quantitative Spectroscopic Diagnostics for FU Orionis-Type Young Stellar Objects
Evan R. Portnoi, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Adolfo S. Carvalho

The FUor Mass Distribution Matches the Solar Neighborhood IMF: Evidence for a Universal Eruptive Phase
Adolfo S. Carvalho, Lynne A. Hillenbrand
Eruptive accretion events are expected to play an important role in the mass buildup stage of individual star formation. FU Ori objects (FUors) experience the most extreme eruptive…
A New FU Orionis Accretion Outburst in the W5 HII Region
Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Matthew J. Graham, Mansi M. Kasliwal +9
We announce a recently detected outburst that is currently only a few months old, and probably of FU Orionis type. The progenitor to the outburst was an emission-line, flat-spectru…
Hubble reveals complex multi-scale structure in the edge-on protoplanetary disk IRAS 23077+6707

We present high-resolution () Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) imaging of the near edge-on () protoplanetary disk IRAS 23077…
The Near-Ultraviolet Spectra of FU Orionis Accretion Disks
Adolfo S. Carvalho, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Gregory J. Herczeg +1
We present the results of the first high-sensitivity NUV (1800 to 3200 Å) survey of FU Ori objects, using the \textit{Hubble Space Telescope} (HST) STIS spectrograph. We compare ne…
The Outbursting YSOs Catalogue (OYCAT)
C. Contreras Peña, J. -E. Lee, G. Herczeg +39
YSOs can display unpredictable and high-amplitude rises in brightness that can last from a few months to possibly over 100 years. These types of outbursts are explained by large ch…
The Hot Inner AU of V883 Ori
Adolfo S. Carvalho, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Ágnes Kóspál
The V883 Ori system is a rapidly accreting young stellar object that has been used as a laboratory for studying the molecular inventory of young circumstellar disks with high lumin…

Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Adolfo S. Carvalho, Dan Stern +5
We present a newly appreciated FU Ori outburst event that began in 2019 and reached a peak in early 2021. Suspected young stellar object WISE J054452.25+333009.6 experienced substa…
Spectral Biases, Starspot Morphology, and Dynamo Transitions on the Pre-Main Sequence: Insights from the X-Shooter WTTS Library
Facundo Pérez Paolino, Jeff Bary, Benjamin Horner +2
Starspots are ubiquitous in young, low-mass stars, yet their impact on the spectral classification and fundamental parameter inference of pre-main sequence stars (PMS) has been lar…
Rosette Nebula Outburst Gaia 24djk from the Young Stellar Object V557 Mon
Adolfo S. Carvalho, Lynne A. Hillenbrand

Bolometric Corrections for FU Ori Object Accretion Disk Luminosities
Adolfo S. Carvalho, Lynne A. Hillenbrand
The accretion luminosity of an FU Ori disk is a fundamental system parameter, but a challenging one to estimate for all but the most well-studied systems. FU Ori objects are dynami…
