SIRTF Legacy Science Requirements –Large, coherent scientific investigations - not realizable as series of smaller GO Programs –Programs whose data are of general and lasting importance to the broad community and also stimulate SIRTF follow-on –Data are non-proprietary, enabling timely and effective opportunities for both SIRTF follow-on and archival research Possible Scope –Legacy Programs typically have hundreds of hours of observing time –Legacy science may utilize up to 50% of the first year of SIRTF observing time

Science Goals Complete database for nearby (< 350 pc), Low mass (solar type) star formation Follow evolution from starless cores to planet-forming disks Coordinate with FEPS team to ensure complete coverage of 0 to 1 Gyr Cover range of other variables (mass, rotation, turbulence, environment, …) to separate from evolution.
14
Evolution Evolution Usual Scheme has only one variable – time. Initial rotation, turbulence, magnetic field, etc. may change the evolution. Environment (isolated or in a cluster) will affect the evolution.
15
Observations (275 hr) Map ~5 large clouds, ~135 smaller cores with IRAC and MIPS (~20 sq. deg.) (50 hr) Photometry of ~190 stars (IRAC and MIPS) (75 hr) Spectroscopy of disk material (IRS) for about 200 targets

Questions : Clouds and Cores Spatial Structure of star formation How do molecular cores become protostars and disks? –Very early evolution (sensitive to L ~ 10 -3 L sun ). –Large sample finds rare objects First hydrostatic core Other transitional objects –Very deeply embedded protostars.

25
Scientific Questions: Disks Do all solar-mass stars have disks? –Do weak-line T Tauri stars have debris disks? –Are there variables besides time? What are the timescales for disk evolution? –How does the transition from accretion disks to debris disks depend on time and other factors?
26
Evolution of Planet Forming disks SIRTF studies will constrain disk masses –Early, through A V ~ 100 mag, can see r = 5 AU, M = M earth disks –Middle (~ 1 Myr to 1 Gyr) around sun-like stars 0.1 M moon from 30–60 AU at 150 pc MIR complementary to NIR, mm studies

30
Spectral Evolution Questions How do the dust, ice, gas in disks evolve? –Amorphous to crystalline silicates? –How does the icy component evolve? –How long does gas (H 2 ) persist? What is the spectral evolution of BDs? –If they form with disks, how does the dust evolve in those disks?
