Emission line diagnostics of magnetospheric accretion in young stellar objects
This thesis seeks to explain the nature of line emission observed in young stellar objects, and to use the lines as diagnostics of the accretion process that is central to star formation. We maintain that the bulk of permitted line emission is produced in free-falling gas streams formed via magnetic...
