1 Part III Early stages in stellar tll evolution PhD ii ll d l db R éli PhD course originally developed by René Liseau Updated to Master level course by Alexis Brandeker

2 Early stages in stellar tll evolution L15 General Overview / Pre collapse phase I L16 Pre collapse phase II L17 Collapse phase I L18 Collapse phase II L19 Circumstellar disks I L20 Pre main sequence evolution L21 Circumstellar disks II debris disks

3 Circumstellar disks Inevitable consequence of star formation: Ω 1 r 12 = L 1 = L 0 = Ω 0 r 0 2 Ω 1 = Ω 0 (r 0 /r 1 ) 2 Collapse compresses scale r from r pc = AU to r 0 R sol = AU r 0 /r and Ω Ω 0 Assumes conservation of angular momentum

4 Magnetic braking Stahler & Palla : the centrifuga l radius ϖ cen T 2 Ω t = 0.3AU K 10 s 10 yr

5 Predictions of disks PS P.S. Laplace 1796, 1799 Exposition du systeme du monde Mechanique celeste I. Kant 1755 Allgemeine Naturgeschichte und Theorie des Himmels

6 Predictions of disks Lynden Bell & Pringle 1974, MNRAS 168, 603: Keplerian Disk Differential Rotation ti Mass Transport Inwards + Viscosity Angular Momentum Transport Outwards

7 Dust grain opacities See Ph. Thebault s lecture Beckwith et al. 2000, PP IV

8 40 observed SEDs of T Tauri Stars and `mean model of star+disk HABE Disk Structure: Dullemond & Dominik 2004 D Alessio et al. 1999

9 Gas Disks Structure Models Boundary Conditions Steady Disks around Single Stars Gas Disks Structure Models R in : boundary layer, magnetosphere, hole? R out : ad hoc?, interstellar turbulence? Viscosity MHD/rotation (Hawley & Balbus 1995) Opacity κ = κ(ρ, T,, XYZ,..., ζ 0,..., χ ν...) Models Adams & Shu 1986 (flat) [examples]kenyon & Hartmann 1987 (flared) Malbet & Bertout 1991 (vertical structure) D Allessio et al. 1998, Aikawa & Herbst 1998 (chemistry) Nomura 2002 (2D) Wolf 2003 (3D)

10 Two categories of disks observed T Tauri Disks: around young stars ( Myr) of half a solar mass (0.1 1 M sol ) at 150 pc distance ( pc) in and/or near molecular clouds Accretion Disks Debris Disks: around young ms stars ( Myr) of about a solar mass (1 2 M sol ) at 20 pc distance (3 70 pc) in the general field Vega excess stellar tll disks

11 Frequency of disks High Rate of occurence around young stars NGC % Trapezium cluster 80% IC %

12 Frequency of disks From Haisch, Lada & Lada 2001, ApJ, 553, 153

13 Observed disk sizes T Tauri/HABE disks AU Dust: mm continuum interferometry AU Dust: scattered stellar light 300AU Gas: CO lines (evidence for Kepler rotation) Silhouette disks (``proplyds ) up to 1000 AU Dust: scattered stellar light

The diffuse cold (100 K), warm ( K) and hot components (10 6 K) are in rough pressure equilibrium Chapter 7 Planet formation The observations indicate that planets form in circumstellar disks around young stars. Therefore, planet formation is strongly linked to the star formation process which we describe
