From Fragments to Flares: Migration, Tidal Disruption, and Observable Bursts in Massive Protostellar Disks
Vardan Elbakyan, Rolf Kuiper, André Oliva +4
We investigate how resolving the inner few astronomical units of a massive protostellar disk affects the migration, disruption, and accretion signatures of an inward-moving fragmen…
Sub-millimeter wavelength protostellar accretion rate monitoring with AtLAST
Thomas Stanke, Verena Wolf, Bringfried Stecklum +5
How a star forms is a fundamental question in astrophysics. In the earliest stages of protostellar evolution high extinction prevents a direct study of the accretion processes and…
The Outbursting YSOs Catalogue (OYCAT)
C. Contreras Peña, J. -E. Lee, G. Herczeg +39
YSOs can display unpredictable and high-amplitude rises in brightness that can last from a few months to possibly over 100 years. These types of outbursts are explained by large ch…
Insights gained from the Light Echo of Cepheus A HW2
Bringfried Stecklum, Verena Wolf
Cepheus A HW2 is a well-studied massive young stellar object (MYSO) featuring Class II methanol masers. Recently, certain maser components have been found to flare every five years…
