The Rate, Amplitude and Duration of Outbursts from Class 0 Protostars in Orion
W. Zakri, S. T. Megeath, W. J. Fischer +18
At least half of a protostar's mass is accreted in the Class 0 phase, when the central protostar is deeply embedded in a dense, infalling envelope. We present the first systematic…
Star-Gas Surface Density Correlations in Twelve Nearby Molecular Clouds I: Data Collection and Star-Sampled Analysis
Riwaj Pokhrel, Robert A. Gutermuth, Sarah K. Betti +15
We explore the relation between the stellar mass surface density and the mass surface density of molecular hydrogen gas in twelve nearby molecular clouds that are located at 1.5…
The Dynamics, Structure, and Fate of a Young Cluster During Gas Dispersal: Hectoschelle, Chandra, Spitzer, and Gaia Observations of CepOB3b
N. Karnath, J. K. Prchlik, R. A. Gutermuth +5
We present a study of the kinematics and structure of the Cep OB3b cluster based on new spectra obtained with the Hectoschelle spectrograph on the MMT and data from Spitzer, Chandr…
A Spitzer View of Mon OB1 East/NGC 2264
Valerie A. Rapson, Judith L. Pipher, Robert A. Gutermuth +4
We present Spitzer 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, and 24 micron images of the Mon OB1 East giant molecular cloud, which contains the young star forming region NGC 2264, as well as more extend…
An Anomalous Extinction Law in the Cep OB3b Young Cluster: Evidence for dust processing during gas dispersal
Thomas S. Allen, Jakub J. Prchlik, S. Thomas Megeath +4
We determine the extinction law through Cep OB3b, a young cluster of 3000 stars undergoing gas dispersal. The extinction is measured toward 76 background K giants identified with M…
Luminosity Functions of Spitzer Identified Protostars in Nine Nearby Molecular Clouds
E. Kryukova, S. T. Megeath, R. A. Gutermuth +5
We identify protostars in Spitzer surveys of nine star-forming molecular clouds within 1 kpc: Serpens, Perseus, Ophiuchus, Chamaeleon, Lupus, Taurus, Orion, Cep OB3, and Mon R2, wh…
Spitzer Imaging of the Nearby Rich Young Cluster, Cep OB3b
Thomas S. Allen, Robert A. Gutermuth, Erin Kryukova +7
We map the full extent of a rich massive young cluster in the Cep OB3b association with the IRAC and MIPS instruments aboard the {\it Spitzer} Space Telescope and the ACIS instrume…
A Correlation Between Surface Densities of Young Stellar Objects and Gas in Eight Nearby Molecular Clouds
R. A. Gutermuth, J. L. Pipher, S. T. Megeath +3
We report the discovery and characterization of a power law correlation between the local surface densities of Spitzer-identified, dusty young stellar objects and the column densit…
Detection of Star Formation in the Unusually Cold Giant Molecular Cloud G216
S. T. Megeath, E. Allgaier, E. Young +3
The giant molecular cloud G216-2.5, also known as Maddalena's cloud or the Maddalena-Thaddeus cloud, is distinguished by an unusual combination of high gas mass (1-6 x 10^5) solar…
Spitzer, Near-Infrared, and Submillimeter Imaging of the Relatively Sparse Young Cluster, Lynds 988e
Thomas S. Allen, Judith L. Pipher, Robert A. Gutermuth +7
We present {\it Spitzer} images of the relatively sparse, low luminosity young cluster L988e, as well as complementary near-infrared (NIR) and submillimeter images of the region. T…
