... In 1930, Trumpler noticed that linear diameters (LD) of open clusters increase with distance (D) from the Sun. ... Since that time, the interstellar absorption has become one of the best studied factor in astrophysics, and we may hope that current OCL distance scales are free from this LD-D correlation. To verify if this is the case we have chosen several modern OCL distance scales and test them with the same clusters and the same angular diameters that Trumpler had used back in 1930. ...

UPPER PANEL: The gas surface density map in log scale. The red circle in the center represents the central protostar. The development of spiral structure in the protostellar disk is evident. Dense protostellar/protoplanetary clumsp form within the spiral arms and are driven into the protostar by the action of gravitational torques. LOWER PANEL: The mass accretion rate onto the protostar as a function of time. The mass accretion rate is characterized by very short ( . ...
