Radio Continuum Observations Toward Massive Protostars


Massive Protostars are selected by high FIR luminosity in the absence of radio continuum emission. However, when observed at sub-mJy sensitivity radio continuum emission is readily detected toward these objects. In this talk I will summarize recent efforts of detection of radio continuum toward massive protostars, discuss models which attempt to explain the emission, and what can be learned from these observations. With both the EVLA and e-MERLIN nearing completion much progress in this research area is expected in the near future.
