Spitzer IRS Observations of Class I/II Objects in Taurus: Composition and Thermal History of the Circumstellar Ices
G. Zasowski, F. Kemper, Dan M. Watson +4
We present observations of Taurus-Auriga Class I/II protostars obtained with the Spitzer InfraRed Spectrograph. Detailed spectral fits to the 6 and 15 micron features are made, usi…
Probing the Dust and Gas in the Transitional Disk of CS Cha with Spitzer
Catherine Espaillat, Nuria Calvet, Paola D'Alessio +10
Here we present the Spitzer IRS spectrum of CS Cha, a member of the ~2 Myr old Chamaeleon star-forming region, which reveals an optically thick circumstellar disk truncated at ~43…
Hubble and Spitzer Observations of an Edge-on Circumstellar Disk around a Brown Dwarf
K. L. Luhman, Lucia Adame, Paola D'Alessio +7
We present observations of a circumstellar disk that is inclined close to edge-on around a young brown dwarf in the Taurus star-forming region. Using data obtained with SpeX at the…
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…
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…
Silicate Dust in Evolved Protoplanetary Disks: Growth, Sedimentation, and Accretion
Aurora Sicilia-Aguilar, L. W. Hartmann, Dan Watson +3
We present the Spitzer IRS spectra for 33 young stars in Tr 37 and NGC 7160. The sample includes the high- and intermediate-mass stars with MIPS 24 microns excess, the only known a…
