From Fragments to Flares: Migration, Tidal Disruption, and Observable Bursts in Massive Protostellar Disks

Vardan Elbakyan, Rolf Kuiper, André Oliva +4

We investigate how resolving the inner few astronomical units of a massive protostellar disk affects the migration, disruption, and accretion signatures of an inward-moving fragmen…

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…

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…

Insights gained from the Light Echo of Cepheus A HW2

Bringfried Stecklum, Verena Wolf

Cepheus A HW2 is a well-studied massive young stellar object (MYSO) featuring Class II methanol masers. Recently, certain maser components have been found to flare every five years…

Radiative transfer modeling of outbursts of massive young stellar objects

Verena Wolf

Young stellar objects (YSOs) accrete up to half of their material in short periods of enhanced mass accretion. For massive YSOs (MYSOs with more than 8 solar masses), accretion out…

The accretion burst of the massive young stellar object G323.46 -0.08

V. Wolf, B. Stecklum, A. Caratti o Garatti +10

Accretion bursts from low-mass young stellar objects (YSOs) are known for many decades. In recent years, the first accretion bursts of massive YSOs (MYSOs) have been observed. Thes…
