Far-Infrared Luminosity Bursts Trace Mass Accretion onto Protostars
William J. Fischer, Cara Battersby, Doug Johnstone +6
Evidence abounds that young stellar objects undergo luminous bursts of intense accretion that are short compared to the time it takes to form a star. It remains unclear how much th…
