Numerous spherical ``shells have been observed in young star-forming environments that host low- and intermediate-mass stars. These observations suggest that these shells may be produced by isotropic stellar wind feedback from young main-sequence stars. However, the driving mechanism for these shells remains uncertain because the momentum injected by winds is too low to explain their sizes and dynamics due to their low mass-loss rates. However, these studies neglect how the wind kinetic energy is transferred to the ISM and instead assume it is instantly lost via radiation, suggesting that these shells are momentum-driven. Intermediate-mass stars have fast ($v_w gtrsim 1000$ km/s) stellar winds and therefore the energy injected by winds should produce energy-driven adiabatic wind bubbles that are larger than momentum-driven wind bubbles. Here, we explore if energy-driven wind feedback can produce the observed shells by performing a series of 3D magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of wind feedback from intermediate-mass and high-mass stars that are placed in a magnetized, turbulent molecular cloud. We find that, for the high-mass stars modeled, energy-driven wind feedback produces $sim$pc scale wind bubbles in molecular clouds that agree with the observed shell sizes but winds from intermediate-mass stars can not produce similar shells because of their lower mass-loss rates and velocities. Therefore, such shells must be driven by other feedback processes inherent to low- and intermediate-mass star formation.
We use X-ray and infrared observations to study the properties of three classes of young stars in the Carina Nebula: intermediate-mass (2--8M$_odot$) pre-main sequence stars (IMPS; i.e. intermediate-mass T Tauri stars), late-B and A stars on the zero
In this work, a mass-effective temperature-surface gravity relation (MTGR) is developed for main sequence stars in the range of 6400 K < $T_{rm eff}$ < 20000 K with log$g$ > 3.44. The MTGR allows the simple estimation of the masses of stars from thei
[Abridged] The stellar Initial Mass Function (IMF) suggests that sub-solar stars form in very large numbers. Most attractive places for catching low-mass star formation in the act are young stellar clusters and associations, still (half-)embedded in
We present a study of the kinematical properties of a small sample of nearby near-infrared bright massive and intermediate mass young stellar objects using emission lines sensitive to discs and winds. We show for the first time that the broad ($sim50
Extended main sequence turn-offs (eMSTOs) are a common feature in color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of young and intermediate-age star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds. The nature of eMSTOs is still debated. The most popular scenarios are extended sta
