Byurakan Observatory representatives participate in international workshop on eruptive stars in Budapest

An international workshop titled “Eruptive Young Stars” was held at the Konkoly Observatory in Budapest, Hungary.

According to the press service of Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory, the workshop brought together specialists from around the world studying the activity and evolution of young stars.

The conference addressed a range of current observational and theoretical topics related to eruptive young stars, including episodic accretion, recent discoveries from large-scale sky surveys, the impact of stellar outbursts on the surrounding environment, the relationship between accretion and outflows, and the chemistry of protoplanetary disks.

Representatives of the Astrobiology, Astrochemistry and Exoplanets Department of the Byurakan Observatory took part in the event.

Byurakan Observatory researcher Sirush Khachatryan delivered a presentation titled “Revealing the history of EXor-type outbursts through kinematic analysis of protostellar jet knots: an application to DG Tau (HH 158)”.

Meanwhile, Lilit Darbinyan presented a scientific poster entitled “UV radiation dose levels in Parsamyan’s Cometary Nebula.”
