Collaborative Research: Planet Formation and Stellar Feedback in Orion

这一合作项目将利用甚大阵列和阿塔卡马大型毫米/亚毫米阵列（阿尔马）望远镜在无线电、毫米和亚毫米波长上获得的观测结果，对大质量星星形成区（包括猎户座）年轻恒星物体周围的数百个盘进行调查。 研究人员将使用这些望远镜构建分子发射图，以研究大质量星星环境如何影响星星和行星的形成，重点关注宿主星星50-200天文单位（Au）内的区域。更广泛的影响：培训两名研究生使用相对较新的阿尔马天文台，制作猎户座恒星形成区的视听飞行，与公众分享他们学到的东西，并与高中生合作制作其他多媒体演示。

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.
