Scientific paper

This proposal is to model high-spatial resolution WFPC2 and NICMOS imagery of the Taurus protostars. By applying 3-D radiation transfer codes that include accurate treatment of dust scattering and clumping effects, and 2-D hydrodynamic codes to the best available high-spatial resolution imagery of these sources, we will learn more about the following scientific issues: 1} if the envelope density really matches the rotationally-flattened infall solution, or is it in fact more complicated than that? We will include other infall solutions such as magnetic collapse and collapse from clouds with initial motion. 2} how the outflows shape the cavities and disperse the envelope; we will use hydrodynamic simulations to test if our presumed geometries are physically plausible and produce images that match the observations. 3} how prevalent are multipolar cavities, and 4} the dust properties in protostars.
