The Chamaeleon cloud complex is active in star formation hosting hundreds of newly born stars. Yet the adjacent Musca cloud, filamentary in shape, seem to be barren, with only a few dense cores detected, signifying the cloud being prestellar. While a far-infrared source, IRAS 12322-7023, on the basis of its IRAS colors, was reported in the literature as a T Tauri candidate, i.e., a newly...
Multi-tracer surveys have revealed the hierarchical nature of molecular clouds, showing how high-density, small-scale features are always nested within more rarefied, larger envelopes. This structural hierarchy is, however, a non-trivial one: over-densities can always be found when smaller scales are resolved. The highest density in the hierarchy of cloud structure correspond to the site of...
The magnetic field structure within protoplanetary disks is thought to influence key processes in star and planet formation.
In this study, we aim to infer the magnetic field structure within the protoplanetary disk surrounding HD 163296, a young Class II Herbig Ae star, by analyzing archival ALMA polarization data at a wavelength of 870 µm.
Traditionally, magnetic field morphology is...
Multiple systems are common in field stars and the frequency is found to be higher in early evolutionary stages. Thus, it is crucial to study young multiple systems during the embedded stages. In particular, the way material accretes from the large-scale envelope into the inner region and how this flow interacts with the system physically and chemically has not been well characterized to date....
