Title: Disks and Outflows from Low Mass protostars

Speaker: Diego Mardones (Universidad de Chile)

Time: 10:00am, July 29, 2026

Location: 3-402, PMO Xianlin Campus

Abstract: I will present results of an ALMA survey of southern, nearby low mass protostars in cloud environments. A total of 125 protostars in nearby molecular clouds were surveyed in ALMA Band 6 in high resolution (0.1 arcsec) dust continuum and moderate resolution (1 arcsec) CO 2--1 maps. The survey covers spatial scales from 40 to 6000 au. I will show statistics and morphology of disk dust emission and protostellar multiplicity (Hsieh et al). I will also show some of the efforts to characterize the observed molecular outflows opening angles and argue against a simple outflow evolution as a function of Tbol.

I will quickly present some of the star formation research carried out at University of Chile and give a small tribute to my closest collaborators from China.
