Accretion onto pre-main-sequence stars

L Hartmann, G Herczeg, N Calvet - Annual Review of Astronomy …, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Accretion through circumstellar disks plays an important role in star formation and in
establishing the properties of the regions in which planets form and migrate. The …

Theory of star formation

CF McKee, EC Ostriker - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2007 - annualreviews.org
We review current understanding of star formation, outlining an overall theoretical framework
and the observations that motivate it. A conception of star formation has emerged in which …

Constraining the Nature of the PDS 70 Protoplanets with VLTI/GRAVITY∗

JJ Wang, A Vigan, S Lacour, M Nowak… - The Astronomical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We present K-band interferometric observations of the PDS 70 protoplanets along with their

Dust-depleted inner disks in a large sample of transition disks through long-baseline ALMA observations

L Francis, N van der Marel - The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Transition disks with large inner dust cavities are thought to host massive companions.
However, the disk structure inside the companion orbit and how material flows toward an …

An optical spectroscopic study of T Tauri stars. I. Photospheric properties

GJ Herczeg, LA Hillenbrand - The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Estimates of the mass and age of young stars from their location in the HR diagram are
limited by not only the typical observational uncertainties that apply to field stars, but also by …

Disk evolution study through imaging of nearby young stars (DESTINYS): late infall causing disk misalignment and dynamic structures in SU Aur

C Ginski, S Facchini, J Huang, M Benisty… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Gas-rich circumstellar disks are the cradles of planet formation. As such, their evolution will
strongly influence the resulting planet population. In the ESO DESTINYS large program, we …
