CSI 2264: Investigating rotation and its connection with disk accretion in the young open cluster NGC 2264
L. Venuti, J. Bouvier, A. M. Cody +7
The low spin rates measured for solar-type stars at an age of a few Myr (~10% of the break-up velocity) indicate that some mechanism of angular momentum regulation must be at play…
The Mid-Infrared Evolution of the FU Orionis Disk
Joel D. Green, Olivia C. Jones, Luke D. Keller +6
We present new SOFIA-FORCAST observations obtained in Feburary 2016 of the archetypal outbursting low mass young stellar object FU Orionis, and compare the continuum, solid state,…
Spitzer Space Telescope Mid-IR Light Curves of Neptune
J. R. Stauffer, M. S. Marley, J. E. Gizis +9
We have used the Spitzer Space Telescope in February 2016 to obtain high cadence, high signal-to-noise, 17-hour duration light curves of Neptune at 3.6 and 4.5 m. The light curv…
Disk Detective: Discovery of New Circumstellar Disk Candidates through Citizen Science
Marc J. Kuchner, Steven M. Silverberg, Alissa S. Bans +23
The Disk Detective citizen science project aims to find new stars with 22 micron excess emission from circumstellar dust using data from NASA's WISE mission. Initial cuts on the Al…
A Model for (Quasi-)Periodic Multi-wavelength Photometric Variability in Young Stellar Objects
Aurora Y. Kesseli, Maya A. Petkova, Kenneth Wood +7
We present radiation transfer models of rotating young stellar objects (YSOs) with hotspots in their atmospheres, inner disk warps and other 3-D effects in the nearby circumstellar…
H-alpha Variability in PTFO8-8695 and the Possible Direct Detection of Emission from a 2 Million Year Old Evaporating Hot Jupiter
Christopher M. Johns-Krull, Lisa Prato, Jacob N. McLane +9
We use high time cadence, high spectral resolution optical observations to detect excess H-alpha emission from the 2 - 3 Myr old weak lined T Tauri star PTFO8-8695. This excess emi…
