How the gradient of versus UV field strength yields insights into the ages of protoplanetary disc populations
Gavin A. L. Coleman, Sierk E. van Terwisga
FUV radiation from massive stars launch photoevaporative winds from the outer regions of protoplanetary discs around other stars, removing gas and dust. Observations have identifie…
Probing accretion and stellar properties in the Orion Nebula with VLT/X-Shooter
L. Piscarreta, G. Beccari, R. A. B. Claes +6
Multiple photometric studies have reported the presence of seemingly older accreting pre-main sequence stars (PMS) in optical colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs). We investigate this…
The past, present and future of observations of externally irradiated disks
Planet formation environments collaboration, Megan Allen, Rossella Anania +51
Recent years have seen a surge of interest in the community studying the effect of ultraviolet radiation environment, predominantly set by OB stars, on protoplanetary disc evolutio…
Identification of a turnover in the initial mass function of a young stellar cluster down to 0.5 M
Matthew De Furio, Michael R. Meyer, Thomas Greene +11
A successful theory of star formation should predict the number of objects as a function of their mass produced through star-forming events. Previous studies in star-forming region…
