Corona Australis 151: an extremely young protostar
E. Redaelli, S. Spezzano, P. Caselli +9
Context. Prestellar cores are the birthplace of stars and planetary systems, but they are short-lived objects, since the initial stages of dense core evolution, collapse, and the f…
Jets and Outflows in Young Stellar Objects with the SKAO
Giovanni Sabatini, Gemma Busquet, Carlos Carrasco-González +48
Jets and outflows are ubiquitous phenomena associated with the formation of young stellar objects (YSOs). They play a crucial role in removing angular momentum from the accreting s…
Probing the ion-neutral drift velocity towards the L1544 prestellar core: Detection of ambipolar diffusion using ND and para-NHD
Doris Arzoumanian, Silvia Spezzano, Tommaso Grassi +9
The dynamical role of the magnetic field in the star formation process is tightly linked to the coupling between matter and the field. This coupling is due to the interaction betwe…
Tracing the sulfur depletion in starless and pre-stellar cores
L. Schöller, S. Spezzano, O. Sipilä +4
Sulfur is one of the most abundant elements in the Universe, yet the sulfur budget inferred from the observed sulfur-bearing molecules in dense cores is significantly lower than ex…
