Abstract:Whether high-mass stars (M > 7M⊙) emerge from a scaled-up version of the low-mass star formation scenario, i. e. through disk-mediated accretion, is still debated. We present the first results of an observational programme aimed to map the innermost regions of high-mass stellar objects by combining together high-spatial resolution maser and radio continuum observations, and near-infrared imaging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based startup that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
