Binarity, outflows and disks in young stellar objects: the case of HH 250
Abstract:
Binary stars, a common outcome of the star formation process, are particularly interesting among young stellar objects as probes of the early dynamical evolution of multiple stellar systems. Many among those display some of the observational manifestations of stellar youth, such as evidence for circumstellar disks and envelopes, accretion, and outflows, but few show most or all of those features at once. I will introduce the HH 250 system, a Herbig-Haro object powered by a binary star, which is one of just a handful of examples in which we can observe both components of the central binary, measure the spectral energy distribution of their respective circumstellar disks, determine the proper motion of the Herbig-Haro object, and find evidence of a circumbinary disk.

#DidYouKnow that we have repository of research publications showcasing the research of our professors, staff and scholars at DIAS? From academic papers, to technical reports, you can access it at: bit.ly/2V9GL87 #DIASdiscovers
J.L. Synge was a Senior Professor in the @StpDias from 1948 to 1972. You can read some Synge's original articles detailing his research and groundbreaking discoveries on our online repository at: bit.ly/2Gzh7X6 #DIASdiscovers
'Only a 1/4 of the 120,000 people working in jobs using #STEM are women ... girls are steering clear of what could be a universe of academic and career possibilities' Great article in the @IrishTimes with a mention of our first female fellow Sheila Tinney. bit.ly/2ElqOGu
DIAS iMARL infrastructure deploying ocean bottom seismometers which detect earthquakes and major weather events, track the presence of whales and dolphins, and capture seabed images. #DIASdiscovers
Great article in today's @IrishTimes about the breakthrough in understanding #SolarStorms, that was made by DIAS in conjuction with @tcddublin and @helsinkiuni. Read it at bit.ly/2Nd86ne. #DIASdiscovers
If you missed @petertgallagher Head of @DIASAstronomy, on @drivetimerte yesterday talking about our recent breakthrough on #SolarStorms, you can listen back at: bit.ly/2Sd1Yfm #DIASdiscovers

#DidYouKnow The School of Cosmic Physics at DIAS carried out the first gravity survey of Ireland and through off-shore geophysical research enabled the extension of Ireland’s ocean territory by tenfold. #DIASdiscovers
A key priority of the @SCSLibrary is the provision of reliable editions of hitherto unpublished material and texts, previously accessible only to scholars consulting the manuscripts. Learn more about the @DIAS_ISOS project at isos.dias.ie #DIASdiscovers
. @ProfBrianCox & @robinince using coffee & cream to explain how we got from the Big Bang to the universe as we know it today. Fantastic show tonight in @3ArenaDublin - masterclass in communicating complex scientific concepts effectively
@UniversalQandA Given you’re in Dublin, any comments on the legacy / influence of Schrödinger, who lived here for many years & was the first Director of @StpDias?
. @ProfBrianCox showing an image of the universe as it was 380,000 years after The Big Bang #Cosmology
“Your theory suggests there was a day without a yesterday” - Lemaître’s comment to Einstein on the Theory of Relativity, as cited by @ProfBrianCox
