The database of the DiscAnalysis project is now online at a beta-test version. It contains a collection of panchromatic datasets of 85 protostellar sources including T-Tauris, transitional disks and HAeBe protostars. Each dataset spans from the X-rays to cm wavelengths…
Lecture notes on protoplanetary disks now online
The lecture notes from the Summer School “Protoplanetary Disks: Theory and Modeling Meet Observations” are new online. All 16 chapters are “open access” and readily available at the EPJ website. The Summer School was organized by University of Groningen and the DiscAnalysis…
Master’s course: Introduction to Meteoritics and Astromineralogy
Astronomy & Astrophysics highlight: Atomic jet uncovers hidden companion protostar
The embedded protostar SMM1 is an outstanding source in the Serpens star-forming region, driving powerful and extended bipolar outflows. In a recent study highlighted in the March issue of the Astronomy & Astrophysics journal, we show that SMM1 is a…
Measuring the CO/H2 ratio in shocks
Carbon monoxide is an easily accessible molecule used as a proxy to the content of the much abundant molecular hydrogen. In a recent study accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics, we assess the conversion ratio between CO and H2…
