Star-Forming Regions: Gas-To-Dust Ratio, Star-Forming Regions: Massive Stars

Scientific paper

The authors have investigated the constraints on dust properties which allows the formation of massive stars. They find the dust-to-gas ratio of the standard model must be reduced by a factor of 4, and graphite grains larger than ≍0.05 μm in radius must be depleted. Furthermore, the accretion rate onto massive protostars (>60 Msun) must be maintained at a fairly large value (>10-3Msunyr-1) during the formation process. These findings seem to suggest that massive star formation requires rather extreme preconditioning of the grain and gas environment.
