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.

Meet the Judges of our "Reach for the Stars" Astrophotography competition! @petertgallagher is Head of @DIASAstronomy & has spent the past two decades studying the Sun its impacts on the Earth. To learn more and submit an entry see dias.ie/reachforthesta… #DIASdiscovers
She has over 15 years’ experience working in PR and communications and has wide-ranging experience of providing strategic communications support to organisations. Learn more about the competition and submit an entry 👉dias.ie/reachforthesta… #DIASdiscovers #astrophotography
Meet the Judges of our "Reach for the Stars" Astrophotography competition! @MartinaPQuinn is the Founder & Managing Director of @helloalicepr.
Want to learn more about what's happening on Mars? Check out our public lecture from November delivered Dr John Clinton and titled MarsQuakes! (5/5) youtu.be/_Lp0oLJ8Ahs
And then this Thursday @NASAMars Perseverance rover reaches Mars, which will try to land in a near equatorial crater called Jezero. Here you can see a possible route around the crater. (4/5)
Last Wednesday, the day the UAE revealed their first image of Mars, China's National Space Administration's Tianwen-1 arrived at Mars. This carries a rover which will be despatched to the surface in the coming months. (3/5) bbc.com/news/science-e…
First up is the @uaespaceagency's Hope mission entered orbit this day last week. It is the first inter-planetary mission by the UAE, and will stay in a wide orbit for one Martian year or two earth years to study climate and weather. (2/5)
It's a busy month over at our planetary neighbour Mars. Three missions headed there have or will enter orbit this month. Why so many at one time? They were timed to launch when the distance between the Earth and Mars was relatively short. (1/5)

Looking for some #MondayMotivation? We are delighted to share this short video by @CClearych who is the O'Donovan Scholar at the School of Celtic Studies. Here she describes the amazing inputs of Eleanor Knott MRIA. youtu.be/Zfvw0KZbFTk @SCSLibrary @RIAdawson
