Collaborative Research: Planet Formation and Stellar Feedback in Orion

这一合作项目将对大质量恒星形成区域(包括猎户座)中的年轻恒星物体(YSO)周围的数百个圆盘进行调查，该调查使用甚大口径阵列(VLA)和阿塔卡马大毫米/亚毫米阵列(ALMA)望远镜在射电、毫米和亚毫米波段获得的观测数据。研究人员将使用这些望远镜来构建分子发射图，以研究大质量恒星环境如何影响恒星和行星的形成，重点放在主恒星50-200个天文单位(AU)内的区域。更广泛的影响使用相对较新的ALMA天文台培训两名研究生，制作猎户座恒星形成区域的视听飞越，与公众分享他们所学到的东西，并与高中生合作制作其他多媒体演示文稿。

This collaborative project will produce a survey of hundreds of disks around young stellar objects (YSOs) in regions of massive star formation (including Orion) using observations obtained at radio, millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths using the Very Large Array (VLA) and Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescopes. The investigators will use these telescopes to construct maps of molecular emission to study how massive star environments affects star and planet formation with a focus on the regions within 50-200 astronomical units (AU) of the host star. Broader impacts training two graduate students using the relatively new ALMA observatory, producing an audio-visual fly-through of the Orion star-forming region to share with the public what they learn and working with high school students to produce other multimedia presentations.
