Measuring the density structure of an accretion hot spot

CC Espaillat, CE Robinson, MM Romanova… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Magnetospheric accretion models predict that matter from protoplanetary disks accretes onto
stars via funnel flows, which follow stellar magnetic field lines and shock on the stellar …

Stable accretion in young stars: the cases of EX Lupi and TW Hya

A Sicilia-Aguilar, J Campbell-White… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com

A measure of the size of the magnetospheric accretion region in TW Hydrae

Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Stars form by accreting material from their surrounding disks. There is a consensus that
matter flowing through the disk is channelled onto the stellar surface by the stellar magnetic …
