IPA. Accretion rate of a low-mass Class 0 protostar, measured via mid-infrared fluorescent OH emission

Dan M. Watson, Mayank Narang, Caeley V. Pittman +41

The earliest stages of star formation are highlighted by complex interactions between accretion, outflow, and radiative processes, which shape the chemical and physical environment…

Sub-millimeter wavelength protostellar accretion rate monitoring with AtLAST

Thomas Stanke, Verena Wolf, Bringfried Stecklum +5

How a star forms is a fundamental question in astrophysics. In the earliest stages of protostellar evolution high extinction prevents a direct study of the accretion processes and…

Serendipitous and targeted mm/sub-mm transient searches with wide-FOV telescope

Karri Koljonen, Claudio Ricci, Thomas Stanke +4

The millimeter/sub-millimeter (mm/sub-mm) sky remains a rich but under-explored frontier for transient and variable phenomena. A wide-field, high-sensitivity instrument with a larg…

Mass Assembly and Chemical Complexity in the Milky Way

Pamela Klaassen, David Eden, Alessio Traficante +13

(Sub-)millimeter spectral lines can be used not only to understand the chemical complexity and enrichment history of an observed portion of our Galaxy, but with spectrally resolved…

Dust scattering halo of 4U 1630-47: High resolution X-ray and mm observations constrain source and molecular cloud distances

E. Kalemci, M. Díaz Trigo, E. Oztaban +8

We re-investigated the distance to the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47 by analyzing its dust scattering halo (DSH) using high-resolution X-ray (Chandra) and millimeter (APEX) ob…

The pre-eruption state of T CrB as observed with ALMA in 2024

D. Petry, G. Sala, I. El Mellah +2

T CrB is a nearby symbiotic binary and a recurrent nova with a period of ca. 80 years. The next eruption is expected to take place in 2025 or 2026. We present our pre-eruption obse…

Peculiar Dust Emission within the Orion Molecular Cloud

Parisa Nozari, Sarah Sadavoy, Edwige Chapillon +8

It is widely assumed that dust opacities in molecular clouds follow a power-law profile with an index, . Recent studies of the Orion Molecular Cloud (OMC) 2/3 complex, however,…

JWST-IPA: Chemical Inventory and Spatial Mapping of Ices in the Protostar HOPS370 -- Evidence for an Opacity Hole and Thermal Processing of Ices

Himanshu Tyagi, Manoj P., Mayank Narang +35

The composition of protoplanetary disks, and hence the initial conditions of planet formation, may be strongly influenced by the infall and thermal processing of material during th…

AtLAST Science Overview Report

Mark Booth, Pamela Klaassen, Claudia Cicone +81

Submillimeter and millimeter wavelengths provide a unique view of the Universe, from the gas and dust that fills and surrounds galaxies to the chromosphere of our own Sun. Current…
