When is an object a young stellar object?
Where do you find YSOs?
YSOs are almost always found within or near gas and dust in outer space, most often embedded in molecular clouds. --Ashley 15:20, 6 June 2012 (PDT)
How do you decide its a YSO?
YSO's are classified based on using the slope of their SED.~Emily
When does it stop being a YSO?
What are the qualities of a YSO?
There are 2 types of YSOs: protostars and pre-main sequence (PMS) stars. --Ashley 15:33, 6 June 2012 (PDT)
Yes, ther are two types YSOs, the protostars are the more mysterious and exotic being so embedded in surrounding in gas and dust that they are invisible at the traditional optical wavelength. --*Emily Venezio* 19:50, 10 June 2012 (PDT)Emily
Why study YSOs?
Other info?
"Protostars are the most mysterious and exotic YSOs being so heavily embedded in surrounding gas and dust that they are invisible at the traditional optical wavelengths and can only be studied in the infrared, millimeter or sub-millimeter wavelength bands." (got this info from Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics --Ashley 15:33, 6 June 2012 (PDT)
