Lack of PAH emission toward low-mass embedded young stellar objects

V. C. Geers, E. F. van Dishoeck, K. M. Pontoppidan +4

PAHs have been detected toward molecular clouds and some young stars with disks, but have not yet been associated with embedded young stars. We present a sensitive mid-IR spectrosc…

Survey of ortho-H2D+(1_{1,0}-1_{1,1}) in dense cloud cores

Paola Caselli, Charlotte Vastel, Cecilia Ceccarelli +3

We present a survey of the ortho-H2D+(1_{1,0}-1_{1,1}) line toward a sample of 10 starless cores and 6 protostellar cores, carried out at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. The…

Identifying the Low Luminosity Population of Embedded Protostars in the c2d Observations of Clouds and Cores

Michael M. Dunham, Antonio Crapsi, Neal J. Evans +4

We present a search for all embedded protostars with internal luminosities < 1 solar luminosity in the sample of nearby, low-mass star-forming regions surveyed by the Spitzer Space…

SMA observations of young disks: separating envelope, disk, and stellar masses in class I YSOs

Dave Lommen, Jes Jorgensen, Ewine van Dishoeck +1

(abbreviated) We aim to determine the masses of the envelopes, disks, and central stars of young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Class I stage. We observed the embedded Class I objec…

The c2d Spitzer spectroscopy survey of ices around low-mass young stellar objects, III: CH4

Karin I. Oberg, A. C. Adwin Boogert, Klaus M. Pontoppidan +4

CH4 is proposed to be the starting point of a rich organic chemistry. Solid CH4 abundances have previously been determined mostly toward high mass star forming regions. Spitzer/IRS…

The c2d Spitzer Spectroscopic Survey of Ices Around Low-Mass Young Stellar Objects: I. H2O and the 5-8 um Bands

A. Boogert, K. Pontoppidan, C. Knez +23

With the goal to study the physical and chemical evolution of ices in solar-mass systems, a spectral survey is conducted of a sample of 41 low luminosity YSOs using 3-38 um Spitzer…
