چکیده

New Anglo-Australian Telescope near-infrared and Swedish-ESO Submillimetre Telescope CO obJ p 2 r 1 servations are combined with existing Infrared Space Observatory mid-infrared and Australia Telescope Compact Array centimeter radio continuum observations to examine the protostellar content of the Bok globule BHR 71. Together with observations of Herbig-Haro objects, these data show the following: (1) Two protostellar sources, IRS 1 and IRS 2, with a separation of ∼17 (3400 AU) are located within BHR 71. (2) Each protostar is driving its own molecular outflow. The outflow from IRS 1 is much larger in extent, is more massive, and dominates the CO emission. (3) Both protostars are associated with Herbig-Haro objects and shock-excited 2.122 mm H2 v p S(1) emission, which coincide spatially with their CO outflows. (4) IRS 1 is associated with centimeter continuum 1–0 emission, with a flat or rising spectrum, which is consistent with free-free emission, a signpost of protostellar origin. Subject headings: binaries: general — ISM: globules — ISM: individual (BHR 71) — ISM: jets and outflows — stars: formation — stars: pre–main-sequence On-line material: color figures

ATCA and Spitzer Observations of the Binary Protostellar Systems CG 30 and BHR 71

We present interferometric observations with resolution of ∼ 3′′ of the isolated, low-mass protostellar double cores CG 30 and BHR 71 in the N2H + (1− 0) line and at 3 mm dust continuum, using the Australian Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The results are complemented by infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope. In CG 30, the 3 mm dust continuum images resolve two compact sources with a s...

Millimeter Imaging of Hh 24 Mms: a Misaligned Protobinary System

The HH 24 MMS protostellar system was observed in the 6.9 mm continuum with a high angular resolution (0.5). HH 24 MMS was resolved into two sources. The separation between sources 1 and 2 is ∼0.9 or 360 AU. The spectral energy distribution suggests that the 6.9 mm flux is almost entirely from dust. The 6.9 mm image and the spectrum suggest that HH 24 MMS may be a protostellar binary system. To...

Observational implications of precessing protostellar discs and jets

We consider the dynamics of a protostellar disc in a binary system where the disc is misaligned with the orbital plane of the binary, with the aim of determining the observational consequences for such systems. The disc wobbles with a period approximately equal to half the binary’s orbital period and precesses on a longer timescale. We determine the characteristic timescale for realignment of t...

A re-examination test for three-dimensional protostellar collapse codes

The standard isothermal test case of protostellar collapse and binary fragmentation, originally advanced by Boss & Bodenheimer (1979), is here re-investigated using a secondorder-accurate hydrodynamic code written in spherical coordinates. The new test calculation employs a form of the initial m = 2 non-axisymmetric perturbation that is, in contrast with that used in all previous calculations, ...
