What the Sub-mm Variability of Embedded Protostars Tells Us about Accretion: Past, Present, and Future

Event Information:
After four years of monitoring deeply embedded protostars in the sub-mm, the JCMT Transient Survey has uncovered almost two dozen variable sources, corresponding to >30% of the brightest protostars. Period-fitting analyses find that a significant fraction of these protostars are associated with timescales of 3-8 years and fractional sub-mm amplitudes of 5-50%. We compare the strength of variability in the sub-mm with simultaneous observations at near-/mid-IR wavelengths for half our sample, revealing excellent light curve agreement.
