The observational campaign, detailed in a paper published Dec. 9 on the arXiv preprint server, delivers important insights into the protostar's disk and jet system. Protostars, also known as young ...

doughnut-shaped disk of gas and dust that circles young stars. HH 30 is a luminous region surrounding a newborn star, or protostar, which is forming as stellar winds or jets of gas spewing forth ...

FS Tau B is a newly forming star, or protostar, and is surrounded by a protoplanetary disc, a pancake-shape collection of dust and gas left over from the formation of the star that will eventually ...

The gravitational collapse of rotating, denser-than-average "cores" within a molecular cloud results in the creation of a central protostar surrounded by a flattened spinning disk of gaseous material, ...

The HH 30 system features high-speed bipolar jets and a dusty disk, potentially forming new ... by high-speed jets of ionized gas that a young protostar emits. These jets into the surrounding ...

The proto-Sun was ignited. During the early life of a protostar, the dust in the surrounding disk remains cool. But once the star ignites, the inner layers of dust heat up dramatically.
