Variability in the infrared emission from disks around pre-main sequence stars over the course of days to weeks appears to be common, but the physical cause of the changes in disk structure are not constrained. Here we present coordinated monitoring of one young cluster with the Spitzer and Chandra space telescopes aimed at studying the physical source of the variability. In fall 2011 we obtained ten epochs of Chandra ACIS photometry over a period of 30 days with a roughly 3 day cadence contemporaneous with 20 epochs of Spitzer [3.6],[4.5] photometry over 40 days with a roughly 2 day cadence of the IC 348 cluster. This cadence allows us to search for week to month long responses of the infrared emission to changes in the high-energy flux. We find no strong evidence for a direct link between the X-ray and infrared variability on these timescales among 39 cluster members with circumstellar disks. There is no significant correlation between the shape of the infrared and X-ray light curves, or between the size of the X-ray and infrared variability. Among the stars with an X-ray flare none showed evidence of a correlated change in the infrared photometry on timescales of days to weeks following the flare. This lack of connection implies that X-ray heating of the planet forming region of the disk is not significant, although we cannot rule out rapid or instantaneous changes in infrared emission.

Multi-Observatory Study of Young Stellar Energetic Flares (MORYSEF): No Evidence For Abnormally Strong Stellar Magnetic Fields After Powerful X-ray Flares
Ongoing flyby in the young multiple system UX Tauri
我们目前的观测年轻的多系统UX金牛座寻找拱盘和动力学相互作用的迹象。获得了J波段和H波段的SPHERE/IRDIS深差极化图像。我们还使用了ALMA档案CO数据。在UX Tau A盘发出的散射光中可以很好地检测到大的延伸螺旋。南部螺旋形成了连接UX Tau A和C的桥梁。这些螺旋,包括连接两颗恒星的桥梁,都有一个由ALMA看到的CO(3-2)对应物。在散射光中检测UX Tau C的盘。它比UX Tau A的圆盘小得多,并且沿着不同的位置角有一个主轴,这表明没有对准。我们进行了PHANTOM SPH流体动力学模型来解释数据。散射光螺旋,CO发射螺旋和旋转盘的速度模式,以及UX Tau C盘的紧凑性都指向一个场景,其中UX Tau A最近(大约1000年)被UX Tau C近距离通过而扰动。
