Abstract

The observed frequency distribution of near-IR excesses for a sample of 83 stars in the Taurus-Auriga star-forming complex is used to provide an estimate of the number of solar-type premain-sequence (PMS) stars surrounded by circumstellar disks. The results suggest that if all such PMS stars are initially surrounded by disks, then disk lifetimes must range from much less than 3 x 10 to the 6th yr to about 10 to the 7th yr, providing a constraint on the time available for planet building. PMS stars with small near-IR excesses, but significant mid-IR and far-IR excesses, provide some evidence for changes in disk structure with time.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
