Herschel's view of low-mass star formation (NAOC colloquium_No.09/2012) TEXT SIZE: A A A

国台学术报告 NAOC COLLOQUIUM

2012年 第09次 / Number 09, 2012

Speaker: Dr. Greg Herczeg (KIAA)
Time: Wednesday, 3:00 PM, Mar. 14, 2012
Location: NAOC A601

 

Dr. Greg Herczeg is a Bairen Research Professor at Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Peking University. He did his Ph.D at the University of Colorado. He was a postdoctoroal scholar at Caltech since 2005. His research interest lies primarily in Accretion onto young stars, disk dissipation mechanisms and disk structure, observational diagnostics of wind launching mechanisms, pre-main sequence stellar evolution, chromospheric and coronal activity around dwarf stars.

 

 

 

 

 

Abstract: The Herschel Space Observatory is currently providing an unprecedented view of the far-infrared sky.  Herschel's unique spectral and imaging capabilities in this key wavelength region are revolutionizing our views of star and planet formation.  In this talk, I will review how Herschel has changed our understanding of pre-main sequence stellar evolution, including the structure of cold molecular clouds and initial collapse of a protostar, feedback between the star and surrounding envelope, and the structure and chemistry of proto-planetary disks.
