Modeling radio spectra of protostellar jets
Protostellar jets serve as the principal signature of ongoing star formation activity. Observations have revealed that the radio emission from protostellar jets arise from a combination of thermal free-free and non-thermal synchrotron emission mechanisms. The observed radio spectra of protostellar jets can be explained with the help of emission models and we have developed, for the first time, a simplistic numerical model that is applicable for narrow as well as wide-angle protostellar jets, and could explain the signatures of synchrotron emission in their radio spectra.
