The formation and evolution of planetary systems: Grain growth and chemical processing of dust in T Tauri systems
J. Bouwman, Th. Henning, L. A. Hillenbrand +8
This paper is one in a series presenting results obtained within the Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems (FEPS) Legacy Science Program on the Spitzer Space Telescope. Here…
Evolution of Mid-IR Excess Around Sun-like Stars: Constraints on Models of Terrestrial Planet Formation
M. R. Meyer, J. M. Carpenter, E. E. Mamajek +11
We report observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) regarding the frequency of 24 micron excess emission toward sun-like stars. Our unbiased sample is comprised of 309 st…
Medium-separation binaries do not affect the first steps of planet formation
I. Pascucci, D. Apai, E. E. Hardegree-Ullman +3
The first steps of planet formation are marked by the growth and crystallization of sub-micrometer-sized dust grains accompanied by dust settling toward the disk midplane. In this…
Detection of [Ne II] Emission from Young Circumstellar Disks
I. Pascucci, D. Hollenbach, J. Najita +9
We report the detection of [Ne II] emission at 12.81 micron in four out of the six optically thick dust disks observed as part of the FEPS Spitzer Legacy program. In addition, we d…
Gould's Belt to Starburst Galaxies: The IMF of Extreme Star Formation
M. R. Meyer, J. Greissl, M. Kenworthy +1
Recent results indicate the stellar initial mass function is not a strong function of star-forming environment or ``initial conditions'' (e.g. Meyer et al. 2000). Some studies sugg…
The Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems: SIRTF Legacy Science in the VLT Era
M. R. Meyer, D. Backman, S. V. W. Beckwith +20
We will utilize the sensitivity of SIRTF through the Legacy Science Program to carry out spectrophotometric observations of solar-type stars aimed at (1) defining the timescales ov…
