Figure 3.5: Projected density and temperature structure of central 10,000 AU without protostellar feedback at 1000 yr (left column), 2000 yr (middle column), and 5000 yr (right column) after initial sink formation. Asterisks denote the location of the most massive sink. Crosses show the location of the ejected sink. Diamonds mark the locations of the other sinks. Top row : Density structure of the central region in the x-y plane. Second row : Density structure of the central region in the x-z plane. Third row : Temperature structure of the central region in the x-y plane. Bottom row : Temperature structure of the central region in the x-z plane. Note the formation of a cool disk and tidal tail structure along with the growth of a surrounding bubble of warm gas. The ejected sink (cross) has a mass of 1 M⊙. 78
Figure 3.6: Projected density and temperature structure of gas under LW and ionization feedback at 1000, 2000, and 4000 yr after initial sink formation. Asterisks denote the location of the most massive sink. Crosses show the location of the second-most massive sink. Diamonds are the locations of the other sinks. For the rows and columns, we adopt the same convention as employed in Fig. 3.5. Note the growth of a roughly hour-glass shaped structure of hot gas surrounding the disk as the I-front expands into the low-density regions. The hot region expands well beyond the disk by 3000 yr. 79
