Abstract

We present a grid of radiation transfer models of axisymmetric young stellar objects (YSOs), covering a wide range of stellar masses (from 0.1Msun to 50Msun) and evolutionary stages (from the early envelope infall stage to the late disk-only stage). The grid consists of 20,000 YSO models, with spectral energy distributions (SEDs) and polarization spectra computed at ten viewing angles for each model, resulting in a total of 200,000 SEDs. [...]. These models are publicly available on a dedicated WWW server: http://www.astro.wisc.edu/protostars/ . In this paper we summarize the main features of our models, as well as the range of parameters explored. [...]. We examine the dependence of the spectral indices of…
