SMA and ALMA Studies of Disk- and Planet Formation around Low-mass Protostars
Shigehisa Takakuwa, Hsi-Wei Yen, Ti-Lin Chou +16
We report our current SMA and ALMA studies of disk and planet formation around protostars. We have revealed that 100 AU scale disks in Keplerian rotation are ubiquitous…
A molecular-line study of the interstellar bullet engine IRAS 05506+2414
Raghvendra Sahai, Chin-Fei Lee, Carmen Sanchez Contreras +3
We present interferometric and single-dish molecular line observations of the interstellar bullet-outflow source IRAS 05506+2414, whose wide-angle bullet spray is similar to the Or…
How do stars gain their mass? A JCMT/SCUBA-2 Transient Survey of Protostars in Nearby Star Forming Regions
Gregory J. Herczeg, Doug Johnstone, Steve Mairs +55
Most protostars have luminosities that are fainter than expected from steady accretion over the protostellar lifetime. The solution to this problem may lie in episodic mass accreti…
1000 AU Exterior Arcs Connected to the Protoplanetary Disk around HL Tau
Hsi-Wei Yen, Shigehisa Takakuwa, You-Hua Chu +13
The protoplanetary disk around HL Tau is so far the youngest candidate of planet formation, and it is still embedded in a protostellar envelope with a size of thousands of au. In t…
A Rotating Protostellar Jet Launched from the Innermost Disk of HH 212
Chin-Fei Lee, Paul. T. P Ho, Zhi-Yun Li +3
The central problem in forming a star is the angular momentum in the circumstellar disk which prevents material from falling into the central stellar core. An attractive solution t…
Formation and Atmosphere of Complex Organic Molecules of the HH 212 Protostellar Disk
Chin-Fei Lee, Zhi-Yun Li, Paul T. P. Ho +3
HH 212 is a nearby (400 pc) Class 0 protostellar system recently found to host a "hamburger"-shaped dusty disk with a radius of ~ 60 AU, deeply embedded in an infalling-rotating fl…
