We report on the detection of four rotating massive disks in two regions of high-mass star formation. The disks are perpendicular to known bipolar outflows and turn out to be unstable but long-lived. We infer that accretion onto the embedded (proto)stars must proceed through the disks with rates of ~10-2 Msolar yr-1.

Abstract
We report on the detection of four rotating massive disks in two regions of high-mass star formation. The disks are perpendicular to known bipolar outflows and turn out to be unstable but long-lived. We infer that accretion onto the embedded (proto)stars must proceed through the disks with rates of ~10-2 Msolar yr-1.File in questo prodotto:
