Reflected Light from Sand Grains in the Terrestrial Zone of a Protoplanetary Disk
William Herbst, Catrina M. Hamilton, Katherine LeDuc +4
We show that grains have grown to ~mm size (sand sized) or larger in the terrestrial zone (within ~3 AU) of the protoplanetary disk surrounding the 3 Myr old binary star KH 15D. We…
SIM PlanetQuest Key Project Precursor Observations to Detect Gas Giant Planets Around Young Stars
Angelle Tanner, Charles Beichman, Rachel Akeson +10
We present a review of precursor observing programs for the SIM PlanetQuest Key project devoted to detecting Jupiter mass planets around young stars. In order to ensure that the st…
Periodic accretion from a circumbinary disk in the young binary UZ Tau E
Eric L. N. Jensen, Saurav Dhital, Keivan G. Stassun +6
Close pre-main-sequence binary stars are expected to clear central holes in their protoplanetary disks, but the extent to which material can flow from the circumbinary disk across…
Results of the ROTOR-program. I. The long-term photometric variability of classical T Tauri stars
K. N. Grankin, S. Yu. Melnikov, J. Bouvier +2
We present a unique, homogeneous database of photometric measurements for Classical T Tauri stars extending up to 20 years. The database contains more than 21,000 UBVR observations…
Testing the Disk-Locking Paradigm: An Association Between U-V Excess and Rotation in NGC 2264
Cassandra Fallscheer, William Herbst
We present some results from a UVI photometric study of a field in the young open cluster NGC 2264 aimed, in part, at testing whether accretion in pre-main sequence stars is linked…
The Recurrent Eclipse of an Unusual Pre--Main-Sequence Star in IC 348
S. Nordhagen, W. Herbst, E. C. Williams +1
The recurrence of a previously documented eclipse of a solar-like pre--main-sequence star in the young cluster IC 348 has been observed. The recurrence interval is 4.7 yr…
