Ten-Micron Observations of Nearby Young Stars

Abstract

(abridged) We present new 10-micron photometry of 21 nearby young stars obtained at the Palomar 5-meter and at the Keck I 10-meter telescopes as part of a program to search for dust in the habitable zone of young stars. Thirteen of the stars are in the F-K spectral type range ("solar analogs"), 4 have B or A spectral types, and 4 have spectral type M. We confirm existing IRAS 12-micron and ground-based 10-micron photometry for 10 of the stars, and present new insight into this spectral regime for the rest. Excess emission at 10 micron is not found in any of the young solar analogs, except for a possible 2.4-sigma detection in the G5V star HD 88638. The G2V star HD 107146, which does not display a 10-micron excess, is identified as a new Vega-like candidate, based on our 10-micron photospheric detection, combined with previously unidentified 60-micron and 100-micron IRAS excesses. Among the early-type stars, a 10-micron excess is detected only in HD 109573A (HR 4796A), confirming prior observations; among the M dwarfs, excesses are confirmed in AA Tau, CD -40 8434, and Hen 3-600A. A previously suggested N band excess in the M3 dwarf CD -33 7795 is shown to be consistent with photospheric emission.
