Formation Process of the Circumstellar Disk
... We believe that stars are born with a circumstellar disk. The formation of the circumstellar disk is coupled with “the angular momentum problem” that is a serious problem in the star formation process, and the dynamics of disks may determine the mass accretion rate onto the protostar that determines ...

But the Pleiades rising at opposition is a non-event; it cannot be seen. It can be predicted, though, and that requires a good cal ...

ULTRA-COMPACT HII REGIONS AND MASSIVE STAR FORMATION

They are likely to be surrounded by an equatorial accretion disk and a massive bipolar outflow along their spin axes. Their outflow masses, momenta, and kinetic energies are much larger than ...

Pale Orange Dots: The Impact of Organic Haze on the Habitability

Methane-rich terrestrial exoplanets with organic haze may occur frequently as methane (CH4 ) can be produced by several abiotic processes (Kasting 2005; Kelley et al. 2005; Etiope & Sherwood Lollar 2013; GuzmánMarmolejo et al. 2013), and CH4 -producing metabolisms (i.e., methanogenesis) are simple ...
