At the centre of the cloud is the young stellar object destined to become the Sun. It accounts for approximately 99.9 per cent of the mass of the nebula and there are various examples of this in the heavens, including the classic pre-main sequence T-Tauri star. The star continues to evolve, blowing off bipolar jets (see Figure 4.5) and beginning a solar wind of particles. Of course, the star does not reach its full luminous intensity and the best theories suggest that the Sun was some 30 per cent less luminous when the Earth began to form. 

Giant molecular cloud (GMC) A region of space with a larger molecular density of 10s cm-3 and a rich chemical composition. The GMC may also contain young stellar objects. 

Herbig-Haro object A bright object associated with young stellar object, probably due to a region of ionisation associated with high-speed polar jets. 

Young stellar object (YSO) Young stellar object - a protostar that is beginning to shine but at low temperature so it has a spectrum with a maximum in the infrared. 

The term QSOs is used to cover both radio-loud quasi-stellar objects, commonly known as quasars , and radio-quiet objects that otherwise have similar characteristics. 

The results are shown in Fig. 5. We notice that the EOS calculated with the microscopic TBF produces the largest gravitational masses, with the maximum mass of the order of 2.3 M , whereas the phenomenological TBF yields a maximum mass of about 1.8 M . In the latter case, neutron stars are characterized by smaller radii and larger central densities, i.e., the Urbana TBF produce more compact stellar objects. For completeness, we also show a sequence of stellar configurations obtained using only two-body forces. In this case the maximum mass is slightly above 1.6 M , with a radius of 9 km and a central density equal to 9 times the saturation value. 

Abstract I discuss the deformed Fermi surface superconductivity (DFS) and some of its alternatives in the context of nucleonic superfluids and two flavor color superconductors that may exist in the densest regions of compact stellar objects. 

The different types of grain can be related to specific classes of stellar objects. The very hot and bright, even lavish Wolf-Rayet stars are considered to be one of the most favourable sites for grain formation, for their strong stellar winds are particularly rich in carbon. Matter thrown out by supernovas and cooling very quickly due to its expansion is also an excellent scenario for grain formation. Elements with any affinity for the solid state are likely to be abundantly transformed. 

The explosion of a supernova is a very happy event. It results in the spherical propulsion of matter into the interstellar medium, matter that has been simmering over millions of years, spiced up in the final moments by a little explosion and radioactivity. In the medium that lies between the stars, temperatures and densities are much lower than in stellar objects themselves. The supernova matter is diluted and cools down. Nuclei in the expelled material capture electrons to form various atoms and molecules. The cycle... 

Synchrotron radiation of 115 to 170 nm has been used to dissociate SiH4 in a pulsed supersonic free jet, and the abundance of SiH2 was measured by quadrupole mass spectrometry using 11 V sub-ionization threshold electron-impact energy301. The possible detection of SiH2 in the outer envelope of a stellar object has been reported302. 

Extrapolation of the hem lines to Z/N = 1 defines another recognizable periodic classification of the elements, inverse to the observed arrangement at Z/N = t. The inversion is interpreted in the sense that the wave-mechanical ground-state electronic configuration of the atoms, with sublevels / < d < p < s, is the opposite of the familiar s < p < d < f. This type of inversion is known to be effected under conditions of extremely high pressure [52]. It is inferred that such pressures occur in regions of high space-time curvature, such as the interior of massive stellar objects, a plausible site for nuclear synthesis. 

Young stellar objects are frequently classified into four classes that characterize four important evolutionary stages ... 

All young stellar objects show indications for stellar winds and outflows. These phenomena are always observed to occur in systems that undergo mass accretion that interacts with magnetic fields and rotation. They are not limited to star formation but are also observed in other cases, e.g. during accretion onto central black holes in galaxies.

Figure 2.11 The HH-30 object, a young stellar object showing two thin jets flowing out from the central region of an accretion disk. The outflow velocity in the jets is 90-270 km s-1. The two bowl-shaped regions are starlight scattered by the dust in the uppermost layers of the disk. The dark lane in between is the accretion disk seen side-on. The radial optical depth in the disk is too high for starlight to penetrate in this direction. The radial extension of the disk is 425 AU.

In heavily obscured regions with ongoing star formation one observes the so-called Herbig-Haro (HH) objects thin collimated jets of matter rapidly flowing (up to several hundred kilometers per second) out from young stellar objects. An example is shown in Fig. 2.11. These jets are mainly associated with Class 0 and I objects but sometimes are also observed for T Tauri stars. The outflows interact with... 

X-ray spectroscopy has also been applied to the interpretation of solar spectra, which are emitted by solar flares. Now stellar objects are under investigation by X-ray satellites such as Chandra and XMM. Whereas the present X-ray telescopes are medium resolution devices, the next generation (Constellation-X, XEUS) will provide sufficient spectral resolution for detailed analysis. The spectra from distant object usually suffer from low statistics solar flares have low emission time and the observation time of stellar objects is limited. In addition, the electron distribution is not Maxwellian, in general, and some of the spectral lines may be polarized. Therefore, verified theoretical data are of great importance to interpret solar and stellar spectra, where they provide the only source of information on the plasma state.
