Two Bipolar Outflows and Magnetic Fields in a Multiple Protostar System, L1448 IRS 3 (2006)

Kwon, Woojin, Looney, Leslie W., Crutcher, Richard M., Kirk, Jason M.

We performed spectral line observations of CO J=2-1, 13CO J=1-0, and C18O J=1-0 and polarimetric observations in the 1.3 mm continuum and CO J=2-1 toward a multiple protostar system, L1448 IRS 3, in...

Radioactive Probes of the Supernova-Contaminated Solar Nebula: Evidence that the Sun was Born in a Cluster (2006)

Looney, Leslie W., Tobin, John J., Fields, Brian D.

We construct a simple model for radioisotopic enrichment of the protosolar nebula by injection from a nearby supernova, based on the inverse square law for ejecta dispersion. We find that the...

Resolving and probing the circumstellar disk of the Herbig Ae star MWC 480 at 1.4 mm: Evolved dust? (2006)

Hamidouche, Murad, Looney, Leslie W., Mundy, Lee G.

We present high resolution 0.45" x 0.32" observations from the BIMA array toward the Herbig Ae system MWC 480 in the lambda = 1.4 mm dust continuum. We resolve a circumstellar disk of radius ~170 AU...
