Herter1 Received 2007 September 11; accepted 2007 November 18 ABSTRACT We present Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) spectra of 28 Class I protostars in the Taurus star-forming region. The 5Y36 m spectra reveal excess emission from the inner regions of the envelope and accretion disk surrounding these predecessors of low-mass stars, as well as absorption features due to silicates and ices. Together with shorter and longer wavelength data from the literature, we construct spectral energy distributions and fit envelope models to 22 protostars of our sample, most of which are well constrained due to the availability of the IRS spectra. We infer that the envelopes of the Class I objects in our sample cover a wide range in parameter space, particularly in density and centrifugal radius, implying different initial conditions for the collapse of protostellar cores.

We show that the two circumstellar disks are better fit by a shallow inner and steep outer power-law than a truncated power-law. The two disks have very different transition radii between their inner and outer regions of ∼18.6 AU and ∼8.9 AU respectively. Assuming that they are intrinsically circular and geometrically thin, we find that the two circumstellar disks are parallel with each other and orthogonal in projection to their respective ionized jets.

  • Spectroscopic Analysis of Tremendous--Outburst--Nova

Tappert2, A. Bianchini3, and R. E. Mennickent4 1 European Southern Observatory, Casilla 19001, Santiago 19, Chile. 2 Departamento de Astronom´ıa y Astrof´ısica, Pontificia Universidad Cat´olica, Casilla 306, Santiago 22, Chile 3 Dipartimento di Astronomia, Universit`adi Padova, Vicolo dell’Osservatorio 2, I-35122, Padova, Italy 4 Grupo de Astronom´ıa, Universidad de Concepci´on, Casilla 160–C, Concepci´on, Chile Received xxx xxx, xxx; accepted xxx xxx, xxx Abstract. In the course of a long-term project investigating classical novae with large outburst amplitudes, we have performed optical spectroscopy of several old–nova candidates. We here present the spectra of the candidates V630 Sgr, XX Tau, CQ Vel, V842 Cen, and V529 Ori, that hitherto lacked such classification. While the first four show typical spectra for cataclysmic variables, and can thus be identified as such, V529 Ori is probably misclassified. Of special interest are the two systems XX Tau and V842 Cen, which show all signs for being low mass transfer systems. As such they can be used to judge the evolution scenarios for novae. In particular, given the rather young age of their outburst, it appears more likely that these systems are not on their way into hibernation, (i.e., cutting off mass transfer for a longer period of time), but are simply settling down towards their original configuration of comparatively low, but steady, mass transfer, such as for dwarf novae.

    THE STAR FORMATION NEWSLETTER An electronic publication dedicated to early stellar evolution and molecular clouds No. 8 — 1 April 1993 Editor: Bo Reipurth ([email protected]) Abstracts of recently accepted papers Explosive Ejection associated with Star Formation in Orion David Allen1, Michael Burton1,2 1 Anglo-Australian Observatory, PO Box 296, Epping, NSW 2121, Australia 2 School of Physics, University of New South Wales, PO Box 1, Kensington, NSW 2033, Australia Tightly collimated outflows are often found associated with young stars, interacting with the ambient medium to produce shock-excited emission knots known as Herbig-Haro (HH) objects. Of two interpretations for HH objects one, ejection of a dense clump of material, has fallen from favour. More popular interpretations invoke the shocking of stationary blobs by a fast, low-density jet. We report the discovery of a complex of HH objects and associated wakes in the Orion Molecular Cloud—One that requires compact knots of material to have been ejected over a wide opening angle in a seemingly explosive event.

A numerical model was developed to compute the penetration of heating radiation inside molecular clouds and the resulting IR emission of dust when thermal fluctuations of small dust particles is considered. It has been used to investigate physical conditions of some selected clouds heated either by the galactic diffuse Inter Stellar Radiation Field (ISRF) or receiving radiation from nearby young stars.

Swift Institute for Astronomy, 2680 Woodlawn Dr., Honolulu, HI 96822-1897: [email protected] William J. Welch Department of Astronomy and Radio Astronomy Laboratory, University of California, 601 Campbell Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720-3411 Accepted to the Astrophysical Journal Supplemental Series ABSTRACT This article synthesizes observational data from an extensive program aimed toward a comprehensive understanding of star formation in a low-mass star-forming molecular cloud. New observations and published data spanning from the centimeter wave band to the near infrared reveal the high and low density molecular gas, dust, and pre-main sequence stars in L1551. The total cloud mass of ∼ 160 M contained within a 0.9 pc has a dynamical timescale, tdyn = 1:1 Myr. Thirty-five pre-main sequence stars with masses from ∼ 0:1 to 1.5 M are selected to be members of the L1551 association constituting a total of 22 ± 5 M of stellar mass. The observed star formation efficiency, SFE = 12%, while the total efficiency, SFEtot, is estimated to fall between 9 and 15%. L1551 appears to have been forming stars for several tdyn with the rate of star formation increas- ing with time. Star formation has likely progressed from east to west, and there is clear evidence that another star or stellar system will form in the high column density region to the northwest of L1551 IRS5. High-resolution, wide-field maps of L1551 in CO isotopologue emission display the structure of the molecular cloud at 1600 AU physical resolution.

Boss1 and Harold W. Yorke2 1 DTM, Carnegie Institution of Washington, 5241 Broad Branch Road, NW, Washington, DC 20015, USA 2 Institut f¨ur Astronomie und Astrophysik, Universit¨atW¨urzburg, am Hubland, D-8700 W¨urzburg, FRG Emission at infrared to millimeter wavelengths from the prototypical pre–main-sequence star T Tauri is consistent with the existence of a low mass circumstellar disk around T Tauri. T Tauri’s spectrum can be characterized as flat, but with a significant dip at mid-infrared wavelengths. Mid-infrared dips can result from gaps in the circumstellar disk, and such gaps are thought to imply the existence of unseen companions which produce the gaps through gravitational effects. We show here that mid-infrared dips in T Tauri star spectra may have a more prosaic cause, and may be simply the result of dust grain opacity and the vertical structure of a low mass circumstellar disk without a gap.

Charles Andr´e, F-69230 St. Genis Laval, France E-mail contact: Catherine.Dougados at obs.ujf-grenoble.fr High-resolution studies of microjets in T Tauri stars (cTTs) reveal key information on the jet collimation and launching mechanism, but only a handful of systems have been mapped so far. We perform a detailed study of the microjet from the 2 M⊙ young star RY Tau, to investigate the influence of its higher stellar mass and claimed close binarity on jet properties. Spectro-imaging observations of RY Tau were obtained in [O i]λ6300 with resolutions of 0.4′′ and 135 km s−1, using the integral field spectrograph OASIS at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. Deconvolved images reach a resolution of 0.2′′. The blueshifted jet is detected within 2′′ of the central star.

Our knowledge of circumstellar disks has traditionally been based on studies of dust. However, gas dominates the disk mass and its study is key to our understanding of accretion, outflows, and ultimately planet formation. The Spitzer Space Telescope provides access to gas emission lines in the mid-infrared, providing crucial new diagnostics of the physical conditions in accretion disks and outflows. Aims. We seek to identify gas emission lines in mid-infrared spectra of 64 pre-main-sequence stars in Taurus.
