Magnetically activated accretion outbursts of pre-main-sequence discs

J Cleaver, L Hartmann, J Bae - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We investigate whether triggering of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in protoplanetary
discs can account for the wide diversity of observed accretion outbursts. We show that short …

RNO 54: A Previously Unappreciated FU Ori Star

LA Hillenbrand, A Carvalho… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We present evidence in support of the hypothesis that the young stellar object RNO 54 is a
mature-stage FU Ori type source. The star was first cataloged as a" red nebulous object" in …

Modeling the Multiwavelength Evolution of the V960 Mon System

AS Carvalho, LA Hillenbrand, FJ Hambsch… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the evolution of the FU Ori object V960 Mon since its outburst, using available
multiwavelength photometric time series over 8 yr, complemented by several epochs of …

Multiwavelength detection of an ongoing FUOr-type outburst on a low-mass YSO

Z Guo, PW Lucas, RG Kurtev… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
During the pre-main-sequence evolution, Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) assemble most of
their mass during the episodic accretion process. The rarely seen FUOr-type events are …

On the origin of accretion bursts in FU Ori

S Nayakshin, V Elbakyan - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Accretion luminosity of young star FU Ori (FUOR) increased from undetectable levels to
hundreds of L⊙ in 1937 and remains nearly as high at the present time. In a recent paper …

Spectroscopic confirmation of high-amplitude eruptive YSOs and dipping giants from the VVV survey

Z Guo, PW Lucas, R Kurtev, J Borissova… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
During the pre-main-sequence (pre-MS) evolution stage of a star, significant amounts of
stellar mass are accreted during episodic accretion events, such as multidecade FUor-type …

Photometric and spectroscopic monitoring of YSOs in nearby star-forming regions–I. Eruptive YSOs

C Contreras Peña, GJ Herczeg, M Ashraf… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT Mid-infrared (mid-IR) variability in young stellar objects (YSOs) is driven by
several physical mechanisms, which produce a variety of amplitudes and light-curve …

Episodic eruptions of young accreting stars: the key role of disc thermal instability due to Hydrogen ionization

S Nayakshin, F Cruz Sáenz de Miera… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
In the classical grouping of large magnitude episodic variability of young accreting stars, FU
Ori type objects (FUORs) outshine their stars by a factor of∼ 100, and can last for up to …
