Star Formation OverviewStar Formation Overview
Start with molecular cloud Four phases of collapse
dense rotating core forms collapses from inside out bipolar outflows
carry away angular momen. (L) star and disk revealed
Conservation of L cloud rotates slowly star rotates more rapidly
High L material forms disk disk accretes onto star

Pre-Main Sequence StarsPre-Main Sequence Stars
Pre-main sequence (PMS) stars fully revealed stars still gravitationally contracting toward main sequence hydrogen fusion not started yet
PMS stars are called T Tauri if 0.1 M < M < 2 M (M, K, G, F type stars)
Herbig Ae/Be if 2 M < M < 8 M (F, A, B type stars)
higher mass stars emerge from cloud on main sequence
Observable characteristics Balmer emission lines in stellar spectrum (Hα, Hβ, Hγ, …)
transition (32, 42, 52, …) infrared excess due to circumstellar dust (next slides)

Disk Vertical StructureDisk Vertical Structure
inner-most part of the disk is dust free beyond sublimation temperature
the inner rim is illuminated face-on from the star, the gas heats up more and causes an increased scale height (i.e. it "puffs up")
as the disk ages, the dust grains grow in size
disk becomes vertically stratified larger grains in midplane smaller grains in upper layers

Disk Evolution ContinuedDisk Evolution Continued
Transitional Disks (intermediate phase) accretion rates ~10 - 100x lower than
protoplanetary disks
IR excess similar to pp disk at >10 μm
IR excess significantly less at <10 μm
result of less dust, or optically thin dust,in the inner disk photoevaporation
grain growth until optically thin
gap creation by massive planet
Karen Collins Master's Thesis Defense 4/24/2008
Disk Evolution ContinuedDisk Evolution Continued
Debris Disks (final phase) accretion has stopped
moderate IR excess at >10 μm
very little to no IR excess at <10 μm
no inner disk at all
primordial dust has grown to rocks,protoplanets, and terrestrial planets
remaining dust is second generationfrom collisions of massive bodies
gas-poor

Meeus GroupsMeeus Groups
Meeus et al. (2001) divided 14 Herbig stars into two groups Group I
blackbody in MIR high fraction of IR excess (LIR/L* ~ 0.5)
steep submm slope (i.e. small grains) Group II
no blackbody in MIR low fraction of IR excess (LIR/L* ~ 0.2)
shallow submm slope (i.e. larger grains)
Meeus et al. suggested Group I sources evolve to Group II sources
Karen Collins Master's Thesis Defense 4/24/2008
Meeus Physical ModelMeeus Physical Model
3 components disk midplane - optically thick inner disk with scale height outer disk
Group I inner disk optically thin
outer disk is directly illuminated outer disk heats & flares creates MIR BB
Group II inner disk optically thick
outer disk shielded outer disk stays flat no MIR BB

Thesis GoalThesis Goal
Test idea that Meeus Group I sourcesevolve to Meeus Group II sources
at time of Meeus et al. (2001) paper, many age estimates were not available
accretion rates were not considered
(recall that accretion rate is tied to disk evolution)
Karen Collins Master's Thesis Defense 4/24/2008
Thesis ApproachThesis Approach
Compare ages and accretion rates between the groups we focus on HD 100453 in this work because:
Herbig AeBe stars are difficult to date after about 5 Myr low-mass stars are easier to date and often form together with A-stars we can determine the age of the A-star from a companion low-mass star a candidate low-mass companion was recently reported for HD 100453A
(Chen et al. 2006)
determine age and accretion rate for HD 100453A (this work) determine age and accretion rate for other stars from the
literature

Test of Companion Status Test of Companion Status
To date an A-star from a low-mass companion, we need to know that they are physical companions
Two tests: determine motion of A-star & candidate companion
If motion through space is common, they are likely physical companions
determine spectral type of companion for the brightness contrast between the two stars,
a physical companion would be a low-mass star

Recall we set out to test idea that Meeus Group I sources evolve to Group II ...
by comparing ages & accretion between the groups determine for HD 100453 collect new and updated data from literature
Thesis ResultsThesis Results
Karen Collins Master's Thesis Defense 4/24/2008
Group I sources areslightly older than Group II on average(but are within 1σ)
Group I accretion rates are slightly lower than Group II accretion rateson average(but are within 1σ)
Thesis ResultsThesis Results
Age range significantlyoverlaps between the twogroups
Accretion slows as star agesin both groups
Meeus suggested star and diskevolution may be decoupledfor this sample
We find that the star, accretion rate, and disk evolve together. We conclude that the hypothesis suggesting Meeus Group I
sources evolve to Meeus Group II sources does not hold.

Possible Physical ExplanationPossible Physical Explanation
HD 100546 example (Group I) cavity confirmed by interferometry & STIS (Lui et al. 2003) (Grady et al. 2005)
inner rim of inner and outer disk createsNIR and MIR blackbody components in SEDand high Lexcess/L*
possible giant planet in gap is causingcollisional cascade
collisions produce small dust grains radiation pressure blows the grains onto
surface of cold outer disk small grains cause steep submm slope
Meeus groups may be more representative of differences in disk structure rather than differences in disk evolution.

Future DirectionsFuture Directions
To lift disk structure degeneracy allowed by SED need high contrast, high spatial resolution imaging high spatial resolution interferometry
We can do this with existing instrumentation NICMOS on HST (coron. imaging, 0.075 pixel1 , 0".3 hole)
My collaborators have submitted a proposal (March 2008) for NICMOS observations of several T Tauri and Herbig Ae/Be stars, including HD 100453.
Near-term prospects HST SM4 (8/2008) set to repair other key instruments
ACS (down since June 2006) coron. imaging mode, 0.025 pixel1, 0".9 radius spot
STIS (down since 2004) coron. imaging mode, 0.05 pixel1, 0".5-2.8" wedges
