: A star and disk where the envelope has mostly dissipated. Misfits [Part 2 v13.1]

: For a source to be confirmed as a protostar in this survey, the emission must be extended but peaked directly on the source to rule out unrelated nearby emission. : Researchers use the integrated intensity of chemical

Based on the title "Misfits [Part 2 v13.1]," this refers to the , a research effort focused on identifying protostars (very young stars) in the solar neighborhood. Core Objective of the MISFITS Survey Core Objective of the MISFITS Survey : Standard
