"Jets from Intermediate-mass Protostars as a Fossil Record of Accretion"
The Carina nebula hosts a large population of externally irradiated protostellar jets driven by intermediate-mass stars. These outflows live in a harsh UV environment with copious ionizing radiation to illuminate unshocked material that would otherwise remain invisible, allowing for a full census of the mass-loss. Using multi-wavelength imaging and spectroscopy, we are studying the mass-loss history (and by inference, the accretion history) of a sample of powerful jets driven by protostars in the poorly understood intermediate-mass (2-8 Msun) range.
