Using zoom-simulations carried out with the adaptive mesh-refinement code RAMSES a dynamic range of up to $2^{27} \approx 1.34 \times 10^8$ we investigate accretion profiles around six stars embedded in different environments inside (40 pc)$^3$ giant molecular cloud, role mass infall and disc instabilities on profile, thus luminosity forming protostar. Our results show that environment which protostar is determines overall profile Infall circumstellar may trigger gravitational at distances...
Abstract MHD models and the observation of accretion streamers confirmed that protostars can undergo late events after initial collapse phase.

Hertzsprung–Russell diagrams of star-forming regions show a large luminosity spread. This is incompatible with well-defined isochrones based on classic non-accreting protostellar evolution models. Protostars do not evolve in isolation their environment, but grow through accretion gas. In addition, while an age can be defined for region, the ages individual stars region will vary. We how combined effect spread, consequence sustained star formation molecular cloud, and time-varying protostars...
Context. Establishing the origin of water D/H ratio in Solar System is central to our understanding chemical trail during star and planet formation process. Recent modeling suggests that comparisons D 2 O/HDO HDO/H O ratios are a powerful way trace evolution and, particular, determine whether inherited from molecular cloud or established locally. Aims.

Observations of molecular lines are a key tool to determine the main physical properties prestellar cores. However, not all information is retained in observational process or easily interpretable, especially when larger number and spectral features involved. We present methodology link synthetic spectra with actual simulated models (i.e., their properties), particular, where resides spectra. employ 1D gravitational collapse model advanced thermochemistry, from which we generate then use...

In case multiple deuteration, comparing observation with results modelling particularly effective study how molecules are inherited in different stages within process star planet formation.
