JWST observations of CO ice: Tracing the chemical environment and thermal history of ices in protostellar envelopes
Nashanty G. C. Brunken, Will R. M. Rocha, Ewine F. van Dishoeck +38
The structure and composition of simple ices can be modified during stellar evolution by protostellar heating. Key to understanding the involved processes are thermal and chemical…
Models of Rotating Infall for the B335 Protostar
Neal J. Evans, Yao-Lun Yang, Joel D. Green +7
Models of the protostellar source, B335, are developed using axisymmetric three-dimensional models to resolve conflicts found in one-dimensional models. The models are constrained…
Atomic Shocks in the Outflow of L1551 IRS 5 Identified with SOFIA-upGREAT Observations of [OI]
Yao-Lun Yang, Neal J. Evans, Agata Karska +5
We present velocity resolved SOFIA/upGREAT observations of [OI] and [CII] lines toward a Class I protostar, L1551 IRS 5, and its outflows. The SOFIA observations detect [OI] emissi…
Detection of a Disk Surrounding the Variably Accreting Young Star HBC722
Xi Yek, Michael M. Dunham, Héctor G. Arce +5
We present new ALMA 233 GHz continuum observations of the FU Orionis Object HBC722. With these data we detect HBC722 at millimeter wavelengths for the first time, use this detectio…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: Measuring Protostar Masses: The Key to Protostellar Evolution
John J. Tobin, Stella Offner, Patrick Sheehan +10
Knowledge of protostellar evolution has been revolutionized with the advent of surveys at near-infrared to submillimeter wavelengths. This has enabled the bolometric luminosities a…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: The Formation and Evolution of Multiple Star Systems
John J. Tobin, Marina Kounkel, Stella Offner +13
Significant advances have been made over the past decade in the characterization of multiple protostar systems, enabled by the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), high-resolutio…
