Physicist’s Glossary for Alyssa Goodman’s Talk at Rochester, 10/15/03 1 parsec = 1 pc = 3 x 10 18 cm ≈ 3 light years = typical size scale for a “dark cloud” 1 solar mass = 2 x 10 33 g age of the Sun (and ~the Earth) ~3 x 10 9 yr age of the Universe ~15 x 10 9 yr “extinction” = absorption+scattering (measure of how many photons are “missing”) “molecular cloud” = condensation of molecular hydrogen (H 2 ) in the interstellar medium (typically colder & denser than surroundings) “H II region” blob of ionized hydrogen (free protons & electrons, a.k.a. H II) surrounding hot young star COMPLETE = COordinated Molecular Probe Line Extinction Thermal Emission Survey (begun 2001) IRAS = Infrared Astronomy Satellite (1983) SIRTF = Space Infrared Telescope Facility (launched 8/03)

35. The Usual Questions About Outflows How, exactly, do they carry away angular momentum from the forming star? Can they “drive” turbulence in star- forming regions? How are “optical” HH flows & molecular outflows related? How long do they last? How many are there, really?

36. Today’s Question What can outflows tell us about the motion of a star relative to its environment?

The Lesson of Coordination: B68 C 18 O Dust Emission Optical Image NICER Extinction Map Radial Density Profile, with Critical Bonnor-Ebert Sphere Fit Coordinated Molecular-Probe Line, Extinction & Thermal Emission Observations of Barnard 68 This figure highlights the work of Senior Collaborator João Alves and his collaborators. The top left panel shows a deep VLT image (Alves, Lada & Lada 2001). The middle top panel shows the 850  m continuum emission (Visser, Richer & Chandler 2001) from the dust causing the extinction seen optically. The top right panel highlights the extreme depletion seen at high extinctions in C 18 O emission (Lada et al. 2001). The inset on the bottom right panel shows the extinction map derived from applying the NICER method applied to NTT near-infrared observations of the most extinguished portion of B68. The graph in the bottom right panel shows the incredible radial-density profile derived from the NICER extinction map (Alves, Lada & Lada 2001). Notice that the fit to this profile shows the inner portion of B68 to be essentially a perfect critical Bonner-Ebert sphere
