The database of the DiscAnalysis project is now online at a beta-test version. It contains a collection of panchromatic datasets of 85 protostellar sources including T-Tauris, transitional disks and HAeBe protostars. Each dataset spans from the X-rays to cm wavelengths and includes continuum as well as spectral line metadata (e.g. line fluxes with corresponding errors, […]

The lecture notes from the Summer School “Protoplanetary Disks: Theory and Modeling Meet Observations” are new online. All 16 chapters are \”open access\” and readily available at the EPJ website. The Summer School was organized by University of  Groningen and the DiscAnalysis FP7 project and it took place in The Netherlands (Ameland) during the third week June,

The embedded protostar SMM1 is an outstanding source in the Serpens star-forming region, driving powerful and extended bipolar outflows. In a recent study highlighted in the March issue of the Astronomy & Astrophysics journal, we show that SMM1 is a proto-binary source, consisting of the deeply embedded source SMM1-a and a more evolved protostar SMM1-b

Carbon monoxide is an easily accessible molecule used as a proxy to the content of the much abundant molecular hydrogen. In a recent study accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics, we assess the conversion ratio between CO and H2 for the first time in shocks. This was made possible by combining spectral line maps
