چکیده

From millimeter observations of classical T Tauri stars, it is suggested that dust grains in circumstellar disks have grown to millimeter size or larger. However, gas drag on such large grains induces rapid accretion of the dust. We examine the evolution of dust disks composed of millimeter sized grains, and show that rapid accretion of the dust disk causes attenuation of millimeter continuum emission. If a dust disk is composed mainly of grains of 1 cm − 1 m, its millimeter emission goes off within 10 yr. Hence, grains in this size range cannot be a main population of the dust. Considering our results together with grain growth suggested by the millimeter continuum observations, we expect that the millimeter continuum emission of disks comes mainly from grains in a narrow size range of [1 mm−1 cm]. This suggests either that growth of millimeter sized grains to centimeter size takes more than 10 yr, or that millimeter sized grains are continuously replenished. In the former case, planet formation is probably difficult, especially in the outer disks. In the latter case, reservoirs of millimeter grains are possibly large (& 10 m) bodies, which can reside in the disk more than 10 yr. Constraints on the grain growth time-scale are discussed for the above two cases. Subject headings: accretion, accretion disks — planetary systems: formation — solar system: formation

We construct a protostellar disk model that takes into account the combined effect of viscous evolution, photoevaporation and the differential radial motion of dust grains and gas. For T Tauri disks, the lifetimes of dust disks that are mainly composed of millimeter sized grains are always shorter than the gas disks’ lifetimes, and become similar only when the grains are fluffy (density . 0.1 g...

We report results of a sensitive search for cold dust and molecular gas in the disks around 8 T Tauri stars in the high-latitude cloud MBM 12. Interferometric observations of 3 mm continuum emission in 5 fields containing 6 of the objects, and literature values for the remaining two, limit the disk masses to Mdisk < 0.04–0.09 M⊙ (gas+dust), for a gas:dust mass ratio of 100 and a distance of 275...

We report the detection of [Ne ii] emission at 12.81μm in four out of the six optically thick dust disks observed as part of the FEPS Spitzer Legacy program. In addition, we detect a H i(7-6) emission line at 12.37μm from the source RX J1852.3-3700. Detections of [Ne ii] lines are favored by low mid–infrared excess emission. Both stellar X–rays and extreme UV (EUV) photons can sufficiently ioni...

We present sub-arcsecond resolution millimeter-wave images of a circumstellar disk in the Bok globule CB 26. The presence of an edge-on disk is confirmed by the dust continuum morphology and the velocity field of 13 CO emission, which displays a Keplerian rotation pattern about an axis perpendicular to the long axis of the dust emission. We deduce a mass ∼0.3 M ⊙ for the obscured central star. ...
