Discovery of a mid-infrared protostellar outburst of exceptional amplitude
P. W. Lucas, J. Elias, S. Points +12
We report the discovery of a mid-infrared outburst in a Young Stellar Object (YSO) with an amplitude close to 8 mag at 4.6 m. WISEA J142238.82-611553.7 is one of 23…
Radiative Transfer modeling of EC 53: An Episodically Accreting Class I Young Stellar Object
Giseon Baek, Benjamin A. MacFarlane, Jeong-Eun Lee +8
In the episodic accretion scenario, a large fraction of the protostellar mass accretes during repeated and large bursts of accretion. Since outbursts on protostars are typically id…
VVV-WIT-01: highly obscured classical nova or protostellar collision?
P. W. Lucas, D. Minniti, A. Kamble +18
A search of the first Data Release of the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) Survey discovered the exceptionally red transient VVV-WIT-01 (). It peaked before March…
Submillimetre Transient Science in the Next Decade: EAO Submillimetre Futures White Paper Series, 2019
Steve Mairs, Gregory Herczeg, Doug Johnstone +11
This white paper gives a brief summary of the time domain science that has been performed with the JCMT in recent years and highlights the opportunities for continuing work in this…
Short and long term near-infrared spectroscopic variability of eruptive protostars from VVV
Zhen Guo, P. W. Lucas, C. Contreras Peña +7
Numerous eruptive variable young stellar objects (YSOs), mostly Class I systems, were recently detected by the near-infrared Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey. We pres…
Determining the recurrence timescale of long-lasting YSO outbursts
C. Contreras Peña, T. Naylor, S. Morrell
We have determined the rate of large accretion events in class I and II young stellar objects (YSOs) by comparing the all-sky digitised photographic plate surveys provided by Super…
