چکیده
PROSPECTS FOR DETECTING ACCRETION DISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MASSIVE STAR FORMATION Ed Churchwell University of Wisconsin Abstract It is argued that ALMA should be able to detect accretion disks associated with massive star formation during the rapid accretion phase via free-free emission from a shock-ionized envelope and via thermal dust emission after accretion ceases.

Testing the Massive Disk Scenario for Iras 18089 - 1732
Investigating in more detail the previously suggested massive disk scenario for the High-Mass Pro-tostellar Object IRAS 18089-1732, we observed the source in the 860 µm band with the Submillimeter Array in various spectral lines and the submm continuum emission at (sub-)arcsecond spatial resolution. Fifty spectral lines from eighteen different species spanning upper level energy states between ...
متن کاملMolecular Line Emission from Massive Protostellar Disks: Predictions for Alma and the Evla
We compute the molecular line emission of massive protostellar disks by solving the equation of radiative transfer through the cores and disks produced by the recent radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of Krumholz, Klein, & McKee. We find that in several representative lines the disks show brightness temperatures of hundreds of Kelvin over velocity channels ∼ 10 km s wide, extending over regions...
متن کاملMassive Star Outflows
Molecular outflows in the form of wide-angle winds and/or well-collimated jets are associated with young stellar objects of all luminosities. Independent studies have established that the mass outflow rate is proportional to L bol for Lbol = 0.3 to 10 5 L⊙, suggesting that there is a strong link between accretion and outflow for a wide range of source luminosity and there is reasonable evidence...
متن کاملThe formation of massive stars : accretion , disks , and the development of hypercompact HII regions Eric Keto
The hypothesis that massive stars form by accretion can be investigated by simple analytical calculations that describe the effect that the formation of a massive star has on its own accretion flow. Within a simple accretion model that includes angular momentum, that of gas flow on ballistic trajectories around a star, the increasing ionization of a massive star growing by accretion produces a ...

The 25 years following the serendipitous discovery of megamasers have seen tremendous progress in the study of luminous extragalactic H2O emission. Singledish monitoring and high resolution interferometry have been used to identify sites of massive star formation, to study the interaction of nuclear jets with dense molecular gas and to investigate the circumnuclear environment of active galacti...
