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.

Tonight is DIAS's last @Histfest event for 2019. Thanks to all who took part! The open night at DIAS Dunsink Observatory is completely booked out! Fear Not! Our Samhain agus Science mini-fest kicks off on the 30 October. Book your free place here: eventbrite.ie/o/dublin-insti…
The competition was commissioned by the @RIAdawson, @TFIupdates and Transport Infrastructure Ireland. #DIASdiscovers
While there is an obvious @DIASDunsink link, there is another #DIAS link to this event. Pictured on the right here you will see @TomRayDIAS with his daughter @Emma_Ray_Artist whose own flash of creativity won the commission in 2018.
What a day yesterday! Amazing autumnal sunshine for not only the Hamilton walk but the official unveiling of the new artwork commemorating William Rowan Hamilton's "eureka" moment at what is now Broombridge luas stop.
Wow! This image from an article published in August is from a group lead by Ruben Fedriani. It is a result of work undertaken while at DIAS is now a featured image on @NatureComms site! It is a striking. Excellent work Ruben and team! #DIASdiscovers twitter.com/NatureComms/st…
Great photo @jm_astro 👍. Looks like a perfect morning for the Hamilton walk and @Emma_Ray_Artist artwork unveiling. Happy Hamilton Day. @RIAdawson @MaynoothUni twitter.com/jm_astro/statu…
