The immediate environment of the Class 0 protostar VLA1623, on scales of ~50-100 AU, observed at millimetre and centimetre wavelengths

D. Ward-Thompson, J. M. Kirk, J. S. Greaves +1

We present high angular resolution observations, taken with the Very Large Array (VLA) and Multiple Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) radio telescopes, at 7mm an…

Multiple protostellar systems. II. A high resolution near-infrared imaging survey in nearby star-forming regions

G. Duchêne, S. Bontemps, J. Bouvier +3

(abridged) Our project endeavors to obtain a robust view of multiplicity among embedded Class I and Flat Spectrum protostars in a wide array of nearby molecular clouds to disentang…

Strongly induced collapse in the Class 0 protostar NGC 1333 IRAS 4A

A. Belloche, P. Hennebelle, P. Andre

The onset of gravitational collapse in cluster-forming clouds is still poorly known. Our goal is to use the Class 0 protostar IRAS 4A, which is undergoing collapse in the active mo…

The initial conditions of isolated star formation - VI. SCUBA mapping of prestellar cores

J. M. Kirk, D. Ward-Thompson, P. André

Observations have been carried out with SCUBA at the JCMT of 52 molecular cloud cores that do not contain any sign of protostellar activity. These are all therefore candidate prest…

Molecular line study of the very young protostar IRAM 04191 in Taurus: Infall, rotation, and outflow

A. Belloche, P. Andre, D. Despois +1

We present a detailed millimeter line study of the circumstellar environment of the low-luminosity Class 0 protostar IRAM 04191+1522 in the Taurus molecular cloud. New line observa…

Protostellar Collapse Induced by Compression

P. Hennebelle, A. P. Whitworth, P. P. Gladwin +1

We present numerical simulations of the evolution of low-mass, isothermal, molecular cores which are subjected to an increase in external pressure $P\xt$. If $P\xt$ increases very…
