• Luminosity mostly due to accretion early on
• Median luminosities peak at Menv ~ 1 M
• Possible explanations:
1) Protostars with ~ 1 M envelopes are forming more massive stars
2) Low-mass protostars have higher mass infall rates early in their evolution

Trot curve for CO is independent of source luminosity and envelope density; most likely explanation is that emission is from shock-heated material in outflow.
More luminous sources have more CO luminosity; suggests momentum and mass flow rates of the outflows correlate with bolometric luminosity: sources with high Lbol have higher accretion and outflow rates

Summary • HOPS is a comprehensive survey of the largest star-forming region
within 500 pc - 70 and 160 µm imaging of > 300 protostars - Spectroscopy of 33 protostars
• How does Herschel contribute to our understanding of specific sources of interest? - Large sample allows the study of short-lived phenomena, including accretion
outbursts, unusually bright line sources, late-stage envelopes
• How do protostellar envelopes evolve? - PBRS: 5% of protostars are in a cold, very young stage not detected by Spitzer - Class 0 lasts for 150,000 yrs, 30% of the protostellar lifetime - Accretion rates peak near the Class 0 / Class I transition - CO lines demonstrate correlation between accretion energy and total luminosity
• How does environment affect star formation? - Density and luminosity of protostars increase with increasing gas density - PBRS fraction is 17% in Orion B; only 1% in Orion A
