Ro-vibrational Spectroscopy of CI Tau -- Evidence of a Multi-Component Eccentric Disk Induced by a Planet
Janus Kozdon, Sean Brittain, Jeffrey Fung +5
CI Tau is currently the only T Tauri star with an inner protoplanetary disk that hosts a planet, CI Tau b, that has been detected by a radial velocity survey. This provides the uni…
Herbig Stars: A Quarter Century of Progress
Sean D. Brittain, Inga Kamp, Gwendolyn Meeus +2
Herbig Ae/Be stars are young contracting stars on the radiative track in the HR diagram on their way to the main sequence. These stars provide a valuable link between high and low…
The kinematics and excitation of infrared water vapor emission from planet-forming disks: results from spectrally-resolved surveys and guidelines for JWST spectra
Andrea Banzatti, Klaus M. Pontoppidan, José Pérez Chávez +19
This work presents ground-based spectrally-resolved water emission at R = 30000-100000 over infrared wavelengths covered by JWST (2.9-12.8 m). Two new surveys with iSHELL and VI…
Scanning disk rings and winds in CO at 0.01-10 au: a high-resolution -band spectroscopy survey with IRTF-iSHELL
Andrea Banzatti, Kirsten M. Abernathy, Sean Brittain +11
We present an overview and first results from a -band spectroscopic survey of planet-forming disks performed with iSHELL on IRTF, using two slits that provide resolving power R…
RW Aur A : SpeX Spectral Evidence for Differentiated Planetesimal Formation, Migration and Destruction in an 3 Myr Old Excited CTTS System
C. M. Lisse, M. L. Sitko, S. J. Wolk +9
We present 2007 - 2020 SpeX VISNIR spectral monitoring of the highly variable RW Aur A CTTS. We find direct evidence for a highly excited, IR bright, asymmetric, and time variable…
Tracing Accretion onto Herbig Ae/Be Stars Using the Brγ Line
Sierra L. Grant, Catherine C. Espaillat, Sean Brittain +2
Accretion plays an important role in protoplanetary disk evolution, and it is thought that the accretion mechanism changes between low- and high-mass stars. Here, we characterize a…
