Herbig Ae/Be stars OverviewOverview
• A bit of history • Herbig Ae/Be stars and their disks • Disk geometry • Dust diagnostics • Gas diagnostics • Links to planetary systems • Conclusions
Herbig Ae/Be stars HerbigHerbig Ae/BeAe/Be starsstars
• First introduced as a group by George Herbig in 1960 • A or B type stars with IR excess, Hα emission, reflection nebulosity • In star forming regions • Surrounded by what we now know are proto-planetary/accretion disks, envelopes
• Later: criterion “association with reflection nebulosity” was relaxed
• See also e.g. Bastian et al. (1983), Lamers et al. (1998) Confusion with post main sequence stars remains an issue

(2001): disk wall directiy irradiated • Isella & Natta (2005): rounded off inner wall; Kama et al: optically thin inner region Kama et al. • Problem: hydrostatic equilibrium disks do not produce enough near-IR flux • Solutions: • optically thin halo (Vinkovic et al. 2006) • Extended disk atmosphere (Thi et al) • Magnetically supported region in disk atmosphere (turner et al. Turner et al. 2013)
Herbig Ae/Be stars DustDust asas aa tracertracer ofof planetplanet formationformation amorphous • Grain size: • Dust settling & growth: flaring to self- shadowed… • spatial distribution as a function of grain size (dust traps) • Grain composition: crystalline • Thermal processing: thermal annealing of amorphous silicates, carbon combustion • Gas phase condensation of crystalline silicates in inner regions • Formation of new solids, e.g. FeS
• Origin of crystalline silicates: • Thermal annealing near the star • Radial mixing to outer disk regions • Local processing: shocks caused by planet formation / gap formation
