München (Germany), 2-5 March ABSTRACT BOOK (as at 22-Feb-2010) TALKS In the order of the Program Tuesday, 2 March TUESDAY, 2 March Contribution Number HOGERHEIJDE, Michiel Leiden Observatory (NL) Status IS-O Forming solar-mass stars: an overview of Young Stellar Objects (Overview) The life story of a star begins already before its formation itself, when the initial conditions of its parental interstellar cloud are set. I will review the properties of the dark molecular clouds from which stars form, follow their contraction and collapse, and present the current observational knowledge of the various stages preceding the star's main- sequence life. I will focus on those aspects that are immediately relevant for the star's main-sequence life, namely how its mass is determined, whether it finds itself part of a multiple system or not, and if it is surrounded by a disk that may lead to a planetary system. While the main emphasis of this review is observational, connections to theoretical work will be made throughout. An outlook to future developments, and especially those involving high-angular resolution observations, will conclude my talk. TUESDAY, 2 March Contribution Number DULLEMOND, Cornelis Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie, Heidelberg (DE) Status IS Disk structure and evolution (Invited) In this talk I will give an overview of theoretical modeling efforts of the structure and evolution of protoplanetary disks. I will show what the role of dust continuum radiative transfer is and how this determines not only the disk vertical hydrostatic structure, but also the spectral energy distribution of the disk. I will discuss the complexities of the dust inner rim, as well as emission from quantum-heated grains.
