Observations of pre-stellar cores
Our understanding of the physical and chemical structure of pre-stellar cores, the simplest star-forming sites, has significantly improved since the last IAU Symposium on Astrochemistry (South Korea, 1999). Research done over these years has revealed that major molecular species like CO and CS systematically deplete onto dust grains at the interior of pre-stellar cores, while species like N2H +...
متن کاملThe Degree of CO Depletion in Pre - stellar Cores ⋆
We present new results on CO depletion in a sample of nearby pre-stellar cores, based on observations of the millimeter CO and CO lines and the 1.3 mm dust emission with the IRAM 30 m telescope. In most cases, the distribution of CO is much flatter than that of the dust, whereas other tracers, like N2H , still probe the latter. In the centre of these objects, we estimate CO to be underabundant ...
متن کاملHomologously Collapsing Stellar Cores
We investigate the collapse of nonrotating gas sp~eres with a polytropic.equ~tion of state.: n = 3, corresponding toy = 4/3. Such polytropes provide~ re~sonable approximatiOn t<? collapsmg stellar cores during the early phase before nuclear density IS reached. W~ find a.famtl~ of ~xact homologously collapsing configurations. Homologous collapse of the enti~e core Is possib~e If the pressure at ...
متن کاملThe effect of stellar evolution on SiC dust grain sizes
Stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) produce dust in their circumstellar shells. The nature of the dust-forming environment is influenced by the evolution of the stars, in terms of both chemistry and density, leading to an evolution in the nature of the dust that is produced. Carbon-rich AGB stars are known to produce silicon carbide (SiC). Furthermore, observations of the ∼11μm SiC featu...
متن کاملStellar Evolution and Variability in the Pre-ZAHB Phase
Context. One of the most dramatic events in the life of a low-mass star is the He flash, which takes place at the tip of the red giant branch and is followed by a series of secondary flashes before the star settles on the zero-age horizontal branch (ZAHB). Yet, no stars have ever been positively identified in this key phase in the life of a low-mass star (hereafter the “pre-ZAHB” phase). Aims. ...
