The Young and the Restless Stars



Abstract

Young stars associated with regions of  recent and ongoing star formation are amenable to study across almost the entire electromagnetic spectrum.  Furthermore, they are enigmatically variable over much of this range--due to processes occurring in the inner circumstellar disk, the disk-to-star accretion zone, and perhaps the outflow regions.  The talk will give an overview of the relevant phenomena and present several types of state-of-the-art multiwavelength time domain data sets along with their physical interpretation.

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory and Green Bank Observatory are facilities of the U.S. National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.

Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense..."

AUI collaborates with the scientific community and research sponsors to plan, build, and operate cutting-edge facilities. We cultivate excellence, deliver value, enhance education, and engage the public.
