The physics of star cluster formation and evolution
MGH Krause, SSR Offner, C Charbonnel… - Space Science …, 2020 - Springer
Star clusters form in dense, hierarchically collapsing gas clouds. Bulk kinetic energy is
transformed to turbulence with stars forming from cores fed by filaments. In the most compact …

Zooming in on individual star formation: low-and high-mass stars
Star formation is a multi-scale, multi-physics problem ranging from the size scale of
molecular clouds (∼ 10 ∼10 s pc) down to the size scales of dense prestellar cores (∼ 0.1 …

Water in star-forming regions: physics and chemistry from clouds to disks as probed by Herschel spectroscopy
Context. Water is a key molecule in the physics and chemistry of star and planet formation,
but it is difficult to observe from Earth. The Herschel Space Observatory provided …

Imaging the water snow-line during a protostellar outburst
A snow-line is the region of a protoplanetary disk at which a major volatile, such as water or
carbon monoxide, reaches its condensation temperature. Snow-lines play a crucial role in …

A likely flyby of binary protostar Z CMa caught in action
Close encounters between young stellar objects in star-forming clusters are expected to
markedly perturb circumstellar disks. Such events are witnessed in numerical simulations of …

The Rate, Amplitude, and Duration of Outbursts from Class 0 Protostars in Orion
W Zakri, ST Megeath, WJ Fischer… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
At least half of a protostar's mass is accreted in the Class 0 phase, when the central protostar
is deeply embedded in a dense, infalling envelope. We present the first systematic search …
