Infalling Disk driven envelope bipolar outflow The Transition between Thick & Thin: •Primordial Disks: » Opacity dominated by primordial grains. Approximately 3-300 Mearth available in solids. •Debris Disks: » Opacity dominated by grains produced through collisions of planetesimals. Could be true in gas-rich disk, but how would one know? •How can you tell the difference? » Absence of gas (Gas/Dust < 0.1) argues for short dust lifetimes (blow-out/P-R drag). The transition time from MIR thick to thin is << 1 Myr years. Silverstone et al. (ApJ, 2006).
