" Young circumstellar disks revealed by COMICS MIR observations "
Yoshiko K. Okamoto (Ibaraki University)
Hideaki Fujiwara (University of Tokyo)
Dust grains are important material of planets and they change their
distributions and properties in circumstellar disks
during planetary system formation. Since many kinds of dust grains have
distinguishing features in the mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths, MIR observations
are powerful for understanding disk evolution from the viewpoint of dust.
We are making MIR observations using COMICS on Subaru to reveal dust
distribution and evolution in circumstellar disks through planet formation.
Our methods are (1) spectroscopy to study mineralogical evolution of dust,
(2) high resolution imaging to study disk structures, and (3) spectroscopy
with high spatial resolution to study dust distribution within the disks.
We will present our recent results. Our presentation will include overall
introduction
of our results and detailed presentation for selected topics: dust distribution
around beta Pic and protoplanetary disks, and a resolved outer disk
around HD142527.
Seminars are also held at JAC,
CFHT,
and IfA.
