Protostellar Accretion

This page is the reminder that simultaneous optical-NIR spectroscopy is not only a transient game. Young stars and disks benefit directly from broad wavelength leverage and moderate resolution.

Suggested seed figure: one accretion diagnostic spectrum or line-ratio summary for YSOs.

Why ZShooter

• Balmer-jump through Br-gamma coverage belongs in one instrument if you can get it.

• The science likes simultaneous diagnostics more than stitched campaigns.

• This case is a good use of the instrument in non-ToO time.

Current design pressure

This case keeps pressure on optical-to-NIR continuity and useful moderate resolution.

• Add a concise line list and one representative observing template when the page is fleshed out.
