Evolution of debris disks

MC Wyatt - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2008 - annualreviews.org
Circumstellar dust exists around several hundred main sequence stars. For the youngest
stars, that dust could be a remnant of the protoplanetary disk. Mostly it is inferred to be …

X-ray spectroscopy of stars

M Güdel, Y Nazé - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2009 - Springer
Non-degenerate stars of essentially all spectral classes are soft X-ray sources. Their X-ray
spectra have been important in constraining physical processes that heat plasma in stellar …

A deep Chandra X-ray spectrum of the accreting young star TW Hydrae

NS Brickhouse, SR Cranmer, AK Dupree… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We present X-ray spectral analysis of the accreting young star TW Hydrae from a 489 ks
observation using the Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating. The spectrum provides a …

The structure of the evolved circumbinary disk around V4046 Sgr

KA Rosenfeld, SM Andrews, DJ Wilner… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We present sensitive, sub-arcsecond resolution Submillimeter Array observations of the
protoplanetary disk around the nearby, pre-main sequence spectroscopic binary V4046 Sgr …

X-ray flares in Orion young stars. II. Flares, magnetospheres, and protoplanetary disks

KV Getman, ED Feigelson, G Micela… - The Astrophysical …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the properties of powerful X-ray flares from 161 pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars
observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory in the Orion Nebula region. Relationships …

High-resolution Spectroscopy of Ne II emission from young stellar objects

GG Sacco, E Flaccomio, I Pascucci… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Constraining the spatial and thermal structure of the gaseous component of circumstellar
disks is crucial for understanding star and planet formation. Models predict that the [Ne ii] …

Truncated disks in TW Hya association multiple star systems

SM Andrews, I Czekala, DJ Wilner… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We present high angular resolution (down to 0 farcs 3≈ 13 AU in diameter) Submillimeter
Array observations of the 880 μm (340 GHz) thermal continuum emission from circumstellar …

X-ray properties of protostars in the Orion Nebula

L Prisinzano, G Micela, E Flaccomio… - The Astrophysical …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
The origin and evolution of the X-ray emission in very young stellar objects (YSOs) are not
yet well understood because it is very hard to observe YSOs in the protostellar phase. Using …

Multiwavelength diagnostics of accretion in an X-ray selected sample of CTTSs

RL Curran, C Argiroffi, GG Sacco, S Orlando… - Astronomy & …, 2011 - aanda.org
Context. High resolution X-ray spectroscopy has revealed soft X-rays from high density
plasma in classical T Tauri stars (CTTSs), probably arising from the accretion shock region …

On the observability of T Tauri accretion shocks in the X-ray band

GG Sacco, S Orlando, C Argiroffi, A Maggio… - Astronomy & …, 2010 - aanda.org
Context. High resolution X-ray observations of classical T Tauri stars (CTTSs) show a soft X-
ray excess due to high density plasma (ne= 10 11− 10 13 cm-3). This emission has been …
