Interferometer observations of millimeter-continuum (OVRO) and single-dish observations of HCO+ and H13CO+ J=1-0, 3-2, and 4-3 (JCMT, IRAM 30m) are presented of nine embedded low-mass young stellar objects (YSOs) in Taurus. All nine objects are detected at 3.4 and 2.7 mm, with fluxes of 4-200 mJy, and consist of unresolved (<3 arcsec) point sources, plus, toward about half of the objects, an extended envelope. The point sources likely are circumstellar disks, showing that these are established early in the embedded phase. Literature values of 1.1 mm continuum emission are used to trace the envelopes, carrying 0.001-0.26 M(sol). In HCO+, the 1-0 lines trace the surrounding clouds, while the 3-2 and 4-3 are concentrated toward the sources with intensities well correlated with the envelope flux. An HCO+/H2 abundance of 1.2e-8 is derived. The HCO+ line strengths and envelope fluxes can be fit simultaneously with the simple collapse model of Shu (1977), and related density power laws with slopes p=1-3. As an indicator of the relative evolutionary phase of a YSO, the ratio of HCO+ 3-2 line intensity over bolometric luminosity is proposed, which is roughly proportional to the current ratio of envelope over stellar mass. It is concluded that HCO+ 3-2 and 4-3 are excellent tracers of the early embedded phase of star formation.
(Abridged) Classification schemes for YSOs are based on evaluating the degree of dissipation of the surrounding envelope, whose main effects are the extinction of the optical radiation from the central YSO and re-emission in the far-infrared. Since e
PAHs have been detected toward molecular clouds and some young stars with disks, but have not yet been associated with embedded young stars. We present a sensitive mid-IR spectroscopic survey of PAH features toward a sample of low-mass embedded YSOs.
The aim of this study is to understand the chemical conditions of ices around embedded young stellar objects (YSOs) in the metal-poor Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We performed near-infrared (2.5-5 micron) spectroscopic observations toward 12 massive
Context. Transition disks (TDs) are circumstellar disks with inner regions highly depleted in dust. TDs are observed in a small fraction of disk-bearing objects at ages of 1-10 Myr. They are important laboratories to study evolutionary effects in dis
