Does the Lunar Surface Still Offer Value As a Site for Astronomical Observatories?
Daniel F. Lester, Harold W. Yorke, John C. Mather
Current thinking about the Moon as a destination has revitalized interest in lunar astronomical observatories. Once seen by a large scientific community as a highly enabling site,…
Formation of Massive Stars via Accretion
Harold W. Yorke
The collapse of massive molecular clumps can produce high mass stars, but the evolution is not simply a scaled-up version of low mass star formation. Outflows and radiative effects…
Probing the Invisible Universe: The Case for Far-IR/Submillimeter Interferometry

The question "How did we get here and what will the future bring?" captures the human imagination and the attention of the National Academy of Science's Astronomy and Astrophysics…
Photoevaporation of protostellar disks III. The appearance of photoevaporating disks around young intermediate mass stars
Olaf Kessel, Harold W. Yorke, Sabine Richling
We present theoretical continuum emission spectra (SED's), isophotal maps and line profiles for several models of photoevaporating disks at different orientations with respect to t…
