The Physics of Star Formation: Understanding the Youngest Protostars
... Over the past 20 years, a theoretical paradigm of low-mass star formation has emerged (e.g., Shu 1977; Terebey et al. 1984; Shu et al. 1987). This standard model has successfully interpreted the IR spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of young stellar objects (YSOs) as an evolutionary sequence from ...
