Collapse Process

AbstractLow-mass stars form from the gravitational collapse of dense molecular cloud cores. While a general consensus picture of this collapse process has emerged, many details on how mass is transferred from cores to stars remain poorly understood. MASSES (Mass Assembly of Stellar Systems and their Evolution with the SMA), an SMA large project, has just finished surveying all 74 Class 0 and Class I protostars in the nearby Perseus molecular cloud to reveal the interplay between fragmentation, angular momentum, and outflows in regulating accretion and setting the final masses of stars. Scientific highlights are presented in this proceedings, covering the topics of episodic accretion, hierarchical thermal Jeans fragmentation, angular momentum transfer, envelope grain sizes, and disk evolution.

The Continuum

The CS (J = 2 — 1) line and 98 GHz continuum emission have been observed for 11 protostellar IRAS sources in the Taurus molecular cloud with resolutions of 2.6″−8.8″ (360 AU—1200 AU) using the Nobeyama Millimeter Array (NMA). The CS emission is detected only toward embedded sources, while the continuum emission from dust grains is detected only toward visible T Tauri stars except for one embedded source, L1551-IRS5. This suggests that the dust grains around the embedded sources do not centrally concentrate enough to be detected with our sensitivity (∼4 m Jy r.m.s), while dust grains in disks around the T Tauri stars have enough total mass to be detected with the NMA. The molecular cloud cores around the embedded sources are moderately extended and dense enough to be detected in CS, while gas disks around the T Tauri are not detected because the radius of such gas disks may be smaller than 70 (50 K/Tex) AU. These results imply that the total amount of matter within the NMA beam size must increase when the central objects evolve into T Tauri stars from embedded sources, suggesting that the compact and highly dense disks around T Tauri stars are formed by the dynamical mass accretion during the embedded protostar phase.
