  2. Protostar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protostar

    A protostar is a very young star that is still gathering mass from its parent molecular cloud. It is the earliest phase in the process of stellar evolution . [ 1 ] For a low-mass star (i.e. that of the Sun or lower), it lasts about 500,000 years. [ 2 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_7538

    NGC 7538, near the more famous Bubble Nebula, is located in the constellation Cepheus.It is located about 9,100 light-years from Earth. It is home to the biggest yet discovered protostar which is about 300 times the size of the Solar System. [4]

  4. Young stellar object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_stellar_object

    A star forms by accumulation of material that falls in to a protostar from a circumstellar disk or envelope. Material in the disk is cooler than the surface of the protostar, so it radiates at longer wavelengths of light producing excess infrared emission. As material in the disk is depleted, the infrared excess decreases.

    The abbreviation is not always a short form of the word used in the clue. For example: "Knight" for N (the symbol used in chess notation) Taking this one stage further, the clue word can hint at the word or words to be abbreviated rather than giving the word itself.

    A pre-main-sequence star (also known as a PMS star and PMS object) is a star in the stage when it has not yet reached the main sequence.Earlier in its life, the object is a protostar that grows by acquiring mass from its surrounding envelope of interstellar dust and gas.

  8. T Tauri wind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_Tauri_wind

    The T Tauri wind — so named because of the young star currently in this stage—is a phenomenon indicative of the phase of stellar development between the accretion of material from the slowing rotating material of a solar nebula and the ignition of the hydrogen that has agglomerated into the protostar.
