Disks around Young Planetary-mass Objects: Ultradeep Spitzer Imaging of NGC 1333
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on a sensitive infrared search for disks around isolated young planetary-mass objects (PMOs) in the NGC1333 cluster, by stacking 70 Spitzer/IRAC frames at 3.6 and 4.5$\,\mu m$. Our co-added images go >2.3 mag deeper than single-epoch frames, cover 50 brown dwarfs, 15 of which have M9 or later spectral types. Spectral types >M9 correspond to masses giant planet domain, i.e., near below Deuterium-burning limit 0.015 Msol. Five 12 PMOs show definitive evidence excess, implying disk fraction 42%, albeit with large statistical uncertainty given small sample. Comparing measurements higher-mass objects, does not decline substantially decreasing mass sub-stellar consistent previous findings. Thus, free-floating potential form their own miniature planetary systems. note that only one six lowest-mass NGC1333, type L0 later, has confirmed disk. Reviewing literature, we find lowest firm detections ~0.01 Msol (or ~10 MJup). It is clear yet whether even lower harbor disks. If not, it may indicate MJup like stars. detection experiment deep Spitzer paves way studies JWST longer wavelengths higher sensitivity, will further explore prevalence formation PMOs.

A Spitzer Study of Dusty Disks around Nearby, Young Stars
We have obtained Spitzer Space Telescope MIPS (Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer) observations of 39AthroughM-type dwarfs, with estimated ages between 12 and 600Myr; IRACobservations for a subset of 11 stars; and follow-up CSO SHARC II 350 m observations for a subset of two stars. None of the objects observed with IRAC possess infrared excesses at 3.6–8.0 m; however, seven objects observ...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of Young Planetary Mass Candidates with Disks
It is now well established that many young brown dwarfs exhibit characteristics similar to classical T Tauri stars, including infrared excess from disks and emission lines related to accretion. Whether the same holds true for even lower mass objects, namely those near and below the Deuterium-burning limit, is an important question. Here we present optical spectra of six isolated planetary mass ...
متن کاملDisks around massive young stellar objects : are they common ?
We present K-band polarimetric images of several massive young stellar objects at resolutions ∼ 0.1-0.5 arcsec. The polarization vectors around these sources are nearly centro-symmetric, indicating they are dominating the illumination of each field. Three out of the four sources show elongated low-polarization structures passing through the centers, suggesting the presence of polarization disks...
متن کاملA search for disks around massive young stellar objects
We present subarcsecond observations at 2.7 and 1.4 mm of a sample of massive young stellar objects made with the BIMA millimetre array. For most sources the continuum emission on the smallest scales at 2.7 mm is dominated by free-free emission from the stellar wind or jet. Strong emission at 1.4 mm shows the presence of significant dust associated with Cep A and GL 490 but our resolution is no...
متن کاملThe NGC 7129 Young Stellar Cluster : A Combined Spitzer , MMT , and 2 MASS Census of Disks , Protostars , and Outflows
We present the analysis of seven band (1.2 to 8 μm) ground and space-based imaging of the NGC 7129 young stellar cluster from FLAMINGOS on MMT, 2MASS, and the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. An analysis of the H− [4.5] vs. J−H colors reveals 84 objects with circumstellar disks. Of these, 42 are located within the cluster core, a 0.5 pc (100) radius region of enhance...
