Ionized H2D observations give an age of one million years for a cloud core forming Sun-like stars
Date
Observed and modeled H 2 D+ spectra using APEX/FLASH and SOFIA/GREAT towards a protostar core IRAS 16293-2422. The observed ortho/para H 2 D+ ratio sets a limit on the age of the cloud core of less than one million years.
