The FU Ori outburst of PR Ori B

Carlos Contreras Pena, Zsofia Nagy, Gregory Herczeg +42

We report the discovery of a nearby FU Ori-type outburst (FUor), PR Ori B, in the L1641 cluster of the Orion star-forming region. The high-amplitude variability was first identifie…

The mass distribution of clumpy accretion onto the nearby young star TW Hya

Tao Ji, Javier Serna, Gregory J. Herczeg +12

The proliferation of high time-resolution and decades-long monitoring of classical T Tauri stars provides a vast opportunity to test the variability of the star-disk connections. H…

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…

"Oh FUors where art thou": A search for long-lasting YSO outbursts hiding in infrared surveys

Carlos Contreras Peña, Jeong-Eun Lee, Ho-Gyu Lee +11

Long-lasting episodes of high accretion can strongly impact stellar and planetary formation. However, the universality of these events during the formation of young stellar objects…

New Eruptive YSOs from SPICY and WISE

C. Contreras Peña, M. Ashraf, J. E. Lee +6

This work presents four high-amplitude variable YSOs ( 3 mag at near- or mid-IR wavelengths) arising from the SPICY catalog. Three outbursts show a duration that is longer…
