Bouwman (MPIA), T. Brooke (Caltech), J.M. Carpenter (Caltech), M. Cohen (UC- Berkeley), U. Gorti (NASA-Ames), T. Henning (MPIA), L. Hillenbrand (Caltech, D.P.I.), D. Hines (SSI), D. Hollenbach (NASA-Ames), J. Lunine (LPL), J.S. Kim (Steward), R. Malhotra (LPL), E. Mamajek (CfA), A. Moro- Martin (Princeton ), P. Morris (SSC), J. Najita (NOAO), D. Padgett (SSC), I.

Weidenschilling (PSI), S. Wolf (MPIA), and E. Young (Steward).

2 10-30 Myr old IRAC. CAI Formation? Chrondrules? Terrestrial Planets? 3-10 Myr old IRAC. Silverstone et al. (ApJ, Submitted); See also Mamajek et al. 2004; Weinberger et al. 2004; Metchev et al. 2004. Dust from 0.3-3 AU evolves on timescales comparable to the cessation of accretion (cf. C2D) MIR

3 Out of a sample of > 70 stars 3-30 Myr old, 5 optically-thick disks, and no optically-thin disks. Silverstone et al. (ApJ, in press) Cf. Wolk and Walter, 1996; Kenyon and Hartmann, 1995; Prato and Simon, 1995; Skrutskie et al. 1990.... Transition time from thick to thin is < 1 Myr (cf. C2D, next 2 slides) MIR

4 Disk timescales - from C2D * Some wTTs do have disks not previously detected, BUT only the younger ones ( ages < 3 to 6 Myr) [ages are ~ uncertain] * 1/2 the young ones lack disks, even at age 0.8 to 1.5 Myr * Age is NOT the only variable Padgett et al., in prep; Cieza et al., in prep. Big RED circle: has disk

5 Some disks have inner holes Cieza et al., in prep. * Some wTTs have inner holes, but small fraction of systems. * May be cleared by planet formation * Infer that disk clearing is fast * Planet formation is “fast or not at all”

6 Warm debris (perhaps 4-6 AU) around 30 Myr old sun-like star! Hines et al. (ApJ, in press); Mamajek et al. poster, this meeting. MIR Examples of warm debris (> 100 K) around Sun-like stars are rare (a few %)

7 Bouwman et al. (in preparation); cf. Beichman et al. (2005); Song et al. (2005), Chen et al. (2005); Kenyon & Bromley (2004) MIR...but more common around stars < 100 Myr.

8 Stauffer et al. 2005; Stauffer et al. poster, this meeting Solar-type stars in the Pleiades (age ~ 100 Myr) 5 cases of excess at 24 & 33  m; 2-3 probably real (not bkg)

9 Detecting Cool Gas in Disks is HARD! Gorti & Hollenbach (2004); also Najita et al. poster, this mtg GAS GAS MAS DUST MASS GAS DETECTABLE HERE

10 => No gas rich disk (> 0.1 Mjup) detected. => 20 stars with ages 3-100 Myr Hollenbach et al. (ApJ, 2005); Najita et al. poster, this mtg GAS Gas disk lifetimes appear to be < 10 Myr.

11 MMSN = minimum mass solar nebula

12 Cool Debris Disks (T < 100 K) are fairly common (15-20 %) around Sun-like stars Kim et al. 2005, Hillenbrand et al. poster, this mtg; cf. Bryden et al. 2005 30+- 10 Myr 45 to ??? AU ~1x10 -7 M sun 700+- 300 Myr 20 to <100 AU ~6.9x10 -8 M sun FIR

13 ... evidence for ?  Dynamically hot outer planetesimal belts  Lack of interior planetesimal belts  Clues to the physical state of the remnant disk (e.g. Najita & Williams 2005) Kim et al. 2005; Hillenbrand et al. poster, this mtg HR 8907 FIR

14 Statistics of FEPS 33  m Detections N/M/F-IR See also Bryden et al. (2005) NB: less common at ages > 300 Myr than 70  m (~ 50 K) detections

15 History of our solar system’s dust disk -- are strong old excesses = extrasolar Late Heavy Bombardments ? Backman et al. in prep; cf. Gomes et al. (2005); Strom et al. (2005), Levison et al. (PPV), Kenyon & Bromley (2004).

16 FEPS Preliminary Results: Debris Disk Lifetimes Radius (AU) Lifetime (Myr) 3-10 10-30 30-100 100-300 300-1000 1000-3000 < 0.1 0.3-1.0 1-10 30-100  
