Three-Dimensional Dust Radiative Transfer
Juergen Steinacker, Maarten Baes, Karl Gordon
Cosmic dust is present in many astrophysical objects, and recent observations across the electromagnetic spectrum show that the dust distribution is often strongly three-dimensiona…
The Ubiquity of Micrometer-Sized Dust Grains in the Dense Interstellar Medium
Laurent Pagani, Jürgen Steinacker, Aurore Bacmann +2
Cold molecular clouds are the birthplaces of stars and planets, where dense cores of gas collapse to form protostars. The dust mixed in these clouds is thought to be made of grains…
Dust-temperature of an isolated star-forming cloud: Herschel observations of the Bok globule CB244
A. Stutz, R. Launhardt, H. Linz +6
We present Herschel observations of the isolated, low-mass star-forming Bok globule CB244. It contains two cold sources, a low-mass Class 0 protostar and a starless core, which is…
The Formation of Low-Mass-Protostars and Proto-Brown Dwarfs
Jochen Eislöffel, Jürgen Steinacker
The formation of low-mass protostars and especially of brown dwarfs currently are ``hot topics'' in cool star research. The talks contributed to this splinter session discussed how…
The Morphology of M17-UC1 - A Disk Candidate Surrounding a Hypercompact HII Region
M. Nielbock, R. Chini, V. H. Hoffmeister +4
We investigate the morphology and the evolutionary stage of the hypercompact HII region M17-UC1 using observations at infrared wavelengths and NIR radiative transfer modeling. For…
Three-dimensional Continuum Radiative Transfer Images of a Molecular Cloud Core Evolution
J. Steinacker, B. Lang, A. Burkert +2
We analyze a three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulation of an evolving and later collapsing pre-stellar core. Using a three-dimensional continuum radiative transf…
