Formation and evolution of disks around young stellar objects

B Zhao, K Tomida, P Hennebelle, JJ Tobin… - Space Science …, 2020 - Springer
Recent observations have suggested that circumstellar disks may commonly form around
young stellar objects. Although the formation of circumstellar disks can be a natural result of …

A Keplerian disk with a four-arm spiral birthing an episodically accreting high-mass protostar

RA Burns, Y Uno, N Sakai, J Blanchard, Z Rosli… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
High-mass protostars (M⋆> 8 M⊙) are thought to gain the majority of their mass via short,
intense bursts of growth. This episodic accretion is thought to be facilitated by gravitationally …

Infrared observations of the flaring maser source G358. 93− 0.03-SOFIA confirms an accretion burst from a massive young stellar object

B Stecklum, V Wolf, H Linz, AC o Garatti… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
Context. Class II methanol masers are signposts of massive young stellar objects (MYSOs).
Recent evidence shows that flares of these masers are driven by MYSO accretion bursts …

A heatwave of accretion energy traced by masers in the G358-MM1 high-mass protostar

RA Burns, K Sugiyama, T Hirota, KT Kim… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
High-mass stars are thought to accumulate much of their mass via short, infrequent bursts of
disk-aided accretion,. Such accretion events are rare and difficult to observe directly but are …

Identification of the simplest sugar-like molecule glycolaldehyde towards the hot molecular core G358. 93–0.03 MM1

A Manna, S Pal, S Viti, S Sinha - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Glycolaldehyde (CH2OHCHO) is the simplest monosaccharide sugar in the interstellar
medium, and it is directly involved in the origin of life via the 'RNA world'hypothesis. We …

The accretion burst of the massive young stellar object G323. 46− 0.08

V Wolf, B Stecklum, AC o Garatti, PA Boley… - Astronomy & …, 2024 - aanda.org
Context. Accretion bursts from low-mass young stellar objects (YSOs) have been known for
many decades. In recent years, the first accretion bursts of massive YSOs (MYSOs) have …

Episodic accretion and mergers during growth of massive protostars

VG Elbakyan, S Nayakshin, DMA Meyer… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT 3D simulations of high mass young stellar object (HMYSO) growth show that
their circumstellar discs fragment on to multiple self-gravitating objects. Accretion of these by …

The evolution of the H2O maser emission in the accretion burst source G358. 93− 0.03

OS Bayandina, CL Brogan, RA Burns… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Context. The massive young stellar object (MYSO) G358. 93− 0.03-MM1 showed an
extraordinary near-infrared-to (sub-) millimetre-dark and far-infrared-loud accretion burst …

Detection of new methanol maser transitions associated with G358. 93− 0.03

GC MacLeod, K Sugiyama, TR Hunter… - Monthly Notices of …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
We report the detection of new 12.178, 12.229, 20.347, and 23.121 GHz methanol masers in
the massive star-forming region G358. 93− 0.03, which are flaring on similarly short time …

Millimeter methanol emission in the high-mass young stellar object G24. 33+ 0.14

T Hirota, P Wolak, TR Hunter, CL Brogan… - Publications of the …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
In 2019 September, a sudden flare of the 6.7 GHz methanol maser was observed toward the
high-mass young stellar object (HMYSO) G24. 33+ 0.14. This may represent the fourth …
