It concerns the primordial disks of intermediate-and high-mass young stellar objects in …

The role of magnetic fields in protostellar outflows and star formation

RE Pudritz, TP Ray - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019 - frontiersin.org
The role of outflows in the formation of stars and the protostellar disks that generate them is
a central question in astrophysics. Outflows are associated with star formation across the …

A rotating protostellar jet launched from the innermost disk of HH 212

ALMA discovery of a rotating SO/SO2 flow in HH212-A possible MHD disk wind?

B Tabone, S Cabrit, E Bianchi, J Ferreira… - Astronomy & …, 2017 - aanda.org
We wish to constrain the possible contribution of a magnetohydrodynamic disk wind (DW) to
the HH212 molecular jet. We mapped the flow base with ALMA Cycle 4 at 0. ̋13~ 60 au …

Snapshot of a magnetohydrodynamic disk wind traced by water maser observations

L Moscadelli, A Sanna, H Beuther, A Oliva… - Nature Astronomy, 2022 - nature.com
The formation of astrophysical objects of different nature, from black holes to gaseous giant
planets, involves a disk–jet system, where the disk drives the mass accretion onto a central …

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 …

The ALMA view of the OMC1 explosion in orion

J Bally, A Ginsburg, H Arce, J Eisner… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Most massive stars form in dense clusters where gravitational interactions with other stars
may be common. The two nearest forming massive stars, the BN object and Source I …

Disk-driven rotating bipolar outflow in Orion Source I

T Hirota, MN Machida, Y Matsushita, K Motogi… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
One of the outstanding problems in star formation theory concerns the transfer of angular
momentum so that mass can accrete onto a newly born young stellar object (YSO). From a …

A Keplerian disk around Orion SrCI, a∼ 15 M⊙ YSO
