Title: Star Formation And Low-Mass Young Stellar Objects
Abstract:Abstract Rotation, in conjunction with a magnetic field, drives the outflow of a low mass young stellar object (LMYSO), a young star with a mass a few times that of the Sun or less. The star formation...Abstract Rotation, in conjunction with a magnetic field, drives the outflow of a low mass young stellar object (LMYSO), a young star with a mass a few times that of the Sun or less. The star formation process determines how a LMYSO rotates. Consequently, the nature of the outflow is intimately connected with the entire history of the LMYSO’s formation. Therefore, in this chapter we begin with a review of observations of giant molecular clouds (GMCs), which are the sites of most stellar birth in the Galaxy, and also provide an over view of the standard picture of the formation of a LMYSO.Read More
