摘要:

我们结合了位于附近的四个恒星形成区的前主序星的几个多重性调查的结果与斯皮策数据从三个不同的遗产项目。这使我们能够构建一个样本的349个目标,其中包括125个双星,我们用来调查的影响,同伴的演变拱盘。我们发现,Spitzer超距系统的投影分离度分布与缺乏盘证据的系统的投影分离度分布显著不同(P ~2.4e-5,根据对分离度< 400 AU的双星的KS检验)。正如预期的那样,预测分离< 40 AU的系统保留至少一个磁盘的可能性是预测分离在40-400 AU范围内的系统的一半。这些结果代表了第一个统计学显着的证据之间的相关性的二进制分离和存在的内盘(r ~ 1 AU)。几个因素(例如,密近双星普查的不完整性、未分辨盘指示器的使用以及投影效应)先前在较小的样本中掩盖了这种相关性。我们讨论了我们的研究结果的影响拱盘的寿命和形成的行星在多个系统。

英文摘要:

We combine the results from several multiplicity surveys of pre-main-sequence stars located in four nearby star-forming regions with Spitzer data from three different Legacy Projects. This allows us to construct a sample of 349 targets, including 125 binaries, which we use to to investigate the effect of companions on the evolution of circumstellar disks. We find that the distribution of projected separations of systems with Spitzer excesses is significantly different (P ~2.4e-5, according to the KS test for binaries with separations < 400 AU) from that of systems lacking evidence for a disk. As expected, systems with projected separations < 40 AU are half as likely to retain at least one disk than are systems with projected separations in the 40-400 AU range. These results represent the first statistically significant evidence for a correlation between binary separation and the presence of an inner disk (r ~ 1 AU). Several factors (e.g., the incompleteness of the census of close binaries, the use of unresolved disk indicators, and projection effects) have previously masked this correlation in smaller samples. We discuss the implications of our findings for circumstellar disk lifetimes and the formation of planets in multiple systems.
