Young Stars and Their Surroundings
C. Robert O'Dell,
Steven V. W. Beckwith
As stars are created by the gravitational contraction of knots in
giant interstellar clouds, they shed angular momentum and magnetic and
gravitational energy in an interplay of complex circumstellar structures: swirling disks, fast collimated jets, and shock waves in
the surrounding cloud. Many of these structures were inferred a decade
ago from ground-based telescope observations. The high resolution of
the Hubble Space Telescope and other instruments has now revealed these
circumstellar regions in great detail, showing features never before
imagined. In the Orion Nebula alone, examples of all types of
interactions between young stars and their environment can be seen
simultaneously, highlighting circumstellar dynamics in sharp relief in
one of astronomy's most famous objects.
