Individual outbursting young stars are important laboratories for studying the physics of episodic accretion and the extent to which this phenomenon can explain the luminosity distribution of protostars. We present new and archival data for V2775 Ori (HOPS 223), a protostar in the L 1641 region of the Orion molecular clouds that was discovered by Caratti o Garatti et al. (2011) to have recently undergone an order-of-magnitude increase in luminosity. Our near-infrared spectra of the source have strong blueshifted He I 10830 absorption, strong H2O and CO absorption, and no H I emission, all typical of FU Orionis sources. With data from IRTF, 2MASS, HST, Spitzer, WISE, Herschel, and APEX that span from 1 to 70 microns pre-outburst and from 1 to 870 microns post-outburst, we estimate that the outburst began between 2005 April and 2007 March. We also model the pre- and post-outburst spectral energy distributions of the source, finding it to be in the late stages of accreting its envelope with a disk-to-star accretion rate that increased from about 2x10^-6 M_sun/yr to about 10^-5 M_sun/yr during the outburst. The post-outburst luminosity at the epoch of the FU Orionis-like near-IR spectra is 28 L_sun, making V2775 Ori the least luminous documented FU Orionis outburster with a protostellar envelope. The existence of low-luminosity outbursts supports the notion that a range of episiodic accretion phenomena can partially explain the observed spread in protostellar luminosities.

Context: To follow the early evolution of stars we need to understand how young stars accrete and eject mass. It is generally assumed that the FU Orionis phenomenon is related to the variations in the disk accretion, but many questions remain still o
pen, in particular because of the rarity of FU Ori type stars. Aims: We explore here the characteristics of the outburst and of the environment of one new object, discovered recently in the in the active star formation region containing RNO127, within the Cygnus OB7 dark cloud complex. Methods: We present an extensive optical and near-infrared study of a new candidate of FU Orionis object, including its direct imaging, spectroscopy and scanning Fabry-Perot interferometry. Results: The source, associated with the variable reflection nebula, underwent prodigious outburst. The Braid nebula, which appeared in 2000, as is indicated by its name, consists of two intertwined features, illuminated by the outburst. Subsequent NIR observations revealed the bright source, which was not visible on 2MASS images, and its estimated brightening was more than 4 magnitudes. Optical and infrared spectral data show features, which are necessary for the system to be referred to as a FUor object. The bipolar optical flow directed by the axis of nebula also was found. Various estimates give the November/December 1999 as the most probable date for the eruption.
Context. FU Orionis is the archetypal FUor star, a subclass of young stellar object (YSO) that undergo rapid brightening events, often gaining 4-6 magnitudes on timescales of days. This brightening is often associated with a massive increase in accre
tion; one of the most ubiquitous processes in astrophysics from planets and stars to super-massive black holes. We present multi-band interferometric observations of the FU Ori circumstellar environment, including the first J-band interferometric observations of a YSO. Aims. We investigate the morphology and temperature gradient of the inner-most regions of the accretion disk around FU Orionis. We aim to characterise the heating mechanisms of the disk and comment on potential outburst triggering processes. Methods. Recent upgrades to the MIRC-X instrument at the CHARA array allowed the first dual-band J and H observations of YSOs.Using baselines up to 331 m, we present high angular resolution data of a YSO covering the near-infrared bands J, H, and K. The unprecedented spectral range of the data allows us to apply temperature gradient models to the innermost regions of FU Ori. Results. We spatially resolve the innermost astronomical unit of the disk and determine the exponent of the temperature gradient of the inner disk to $T=r^{-0.74pm0.02}$. This agrees with theoretical work that predicts $T = r^{-0.75}$ for actively accreting, steady state disks, a value only obtainable through viscous heating within the disk. We find a disk which extends down to the stellar surface at $0.015pm0.007$ au where the temperature is found to be $5800pm700$ K indicating boundary layer accretion. We find a disk inclined at $32pm4^circ$ with a minor-axis position angle of $34pm11^circ$.
We present an XMM-Newton survey of the part of Orion A cloud south of the Orion Nebula. This survey includes the Lynds 1641 (L1641) dark cloud, a region of the Orion A cloud with very few massive stars and hence a relatively low ambient UV flux, and
the region around the O9 III star Iota Orionis. In addition to proprietary data, we used archival XMM data of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) to extend our analysis to a major fraction of the Orion A cloud. We have detected 1060 X-ray sources in L1641 and Iota Ori region. About 94% of the sources have 2MASS & Spitzer counterparts, 204 and 23 being Class II and Class I or protostars objects, respectively. In addition, we have identified 489 X-ray sources as counterparts to Class III candidates, given they are bright in X-rays and appear as normal photospheres at mid-IR wavelengths. The remaining 205 X-ray sources are likely distant AGNs or other galactic sources not related to Orion A. We find that Class III candidates appear more concentrated in two main clusters in L1641. The first cluster of Class III stars is found toward the northern part of L1641, concentrated around Iota Ori. The stars in this cluster are more evolved than those in the Orion Nebula. We estimate a distance of 300-320 pc for this cluster and thus it is closer than the Orion A cloud. Another cluster rich in Class III stars is located in L1641 South and appears to be a slightly older cluster embedded in the Orion A cloud. Furthermore, other evolved Class III stars are found north of the ONC toward NGC 1977.
We present the results of high-resolution (R $ge$ 30,000) optical and near-infrared spectroscopic monitoring observations of a FU Orionis-type object, V960 Mon, which underwent an outburst in 2014 November. We have monitored this object with the Bohy
unsan Optical Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) and the Immersion GRating INfrared Spectrograph (IGRINS) since 2014 December. Various features produced by a wind, disk, and outflow/jet were detected. The wind features varied over time and continually weakened after the outburst. We detected double-peaked line profiles in the optical and near-infrared, and the line widths tend to decrease with increasing wavelength, indicative of Keplerian disk rotation. The disk features in the optical and near-infrared spectra fit well with G-type and K-type stellar spectra convolved with a kernel to account for the maximum projected disk rotation velocity of about 40.3$pm$3.8 km s$^{-1}$ and 36.3$pm$3.9 km s$^{-1}$, respectively. We also report the detection of [S II] and H$_{2}$ emission lines, which are jet/outflow tracers and rarely found in FUors.
We present ALMA observations of 12CO, 13CO, and C18O J=2--1 lines and the 230 GHz continuum for the FU Ori-type object (FUor) V900 Mon (d~1.5 kpc), for which the accretion burst was triggered between 1953 and 2009. We identified CO emission associate
d with a molecular bipolar outflow extending up to a ~10^4 au scale and a rotating molecular envelope extending over >10^4 au. The interaction with the hot energetic FUor wind, which was observed using optical spectroscopy, appears limited to a region within ~400 au of the star. The envelope mass and the collimation of the extended CO outflow suggest that the progenitor of this FUor is a low-mass Class I young stellar object (YSO). These parameters for V900 Mon, another FUor, and a few FUor-like stars are consistent with the idea that FUor outbursts are associated with normal YSOs. The continuum emission is marginally resolved in our observations with a 0.2x0.15 (~300x225 au) beam, and a Gaussian model provides a deconvolved FWHM of ~90 au. The emission is presumably associated with a dusty circumstellar disk, plus a possible contribution from a wind or a wind cavity close to the star. The warm compact nature of the disk continuum emission could be explained with viscous heating of the disk, while gravitational fragmentation in the outer disk and/or a combination of grain growth and their inward drift may also contribute to its compact nature.
