Spitzer IRS Spectra and Envelope Models of Class I Protostars in Taurus
E. Furlan, M. McClure, N. Calvet +8
We present Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph spectra of 28 Class I protostars in the Taurus star-forming region. The 5 to 36 micron spectra reveal excess emission from the inner region…
The Dust and Gas Around beta Pictoris
C. H. Chen, A. Li, C. Bohac +12
We have obtained Spitzer IRS 5.5 - 35 micron spectroscopy of the debris disk around beta Pictoris. In addition to the 10 micron silicate emission feature originally observed from t…
HD 98800: A 10-Myr-Old Transition Disk
E. Furlan, B. Sargent, N. Calvet +7
We present the mid-infrared spectrum, obtained with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS), of HD 98800, a quadruple star system located in the 10-Myr-old TW Hydrae association. I…
Crystalline silicates and dust processing in the protoplanetary disks of the Taurus young cluster
Dan M. Watson, Jarron M. Leisenring, Elise Furlan +15
We characterize the crystalline silicate content and spatial distribution of small dust grains in a large sample of protoplanetary disks in the Taurus-Auriga young cluster, using S…
